Foods for special medical purposes

Foods for special medical purposes are products intended for the dietary treatment of individuals suffering from conditions that make it impossible or extremely difficult to meet their nutritional needs using regular foods.

PIAM addresses these specific dietary needs through a specialized nutritional line: MEDIFOOD.

Dedicated to the particular nutritional needs of children and adults with metabolic and digestive system disorders, Medifood is PIAM’s specialized nutritional line. Medifood includes a range of supplements and foods for special medical purposes, specially formulated to meet the specific dietary requirements of children and adults.

Consistent with the company’s mission to address rare or otherwise uncommon diseases, Medifood primarily focuses on congenital metabolic disorders (e.g., Phenylketonuria), kidney diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders, developing “original” solutions with formulations that are as specific and targeted as possible for each individual disease and patient — throughout all stages of life and at every moment of the day.

Moreover, Medifood stands by patients through a series of targeted actions that simplify daily life and make adherence to treatment easier, while constantly prioritizing the quality of its products.

To this end, PIAM has established Quality objectives, which are regularly discussed and reviewed, aimed at:
– Finding innovative solutions to improve human health, turning research efforts into sustainable therapeutic responses;
– Respecting ethical standards, laws, and regulations;
– Ensuring the quality of products and services offered to the scientific community and patients;
– Monitoring processes, products, and services with a view to continuous improvement.

For PIAM, quality represents not just an organizational system but a cultural paradigm that guides all of the company’s strategic and management decisions, clearly reflected in its core values.

Raw materials are meticulously selected from our suppliers to ensure they meet all the certifications required by ISO/GMP standards.

From various types of SINEAMIN pasta to milk and snacks, Medifood offers foods that allow patients to enjoy a diet as varied as possible.

Especially for children — but not only for them — having food products with an appealing, non-pharmaceutical appearance helps improve compliance and reinforces the feeling of not being different from others.

Since these are foods, and therefore essential products for life, PIAM is committed to ensuring a constant presence in the market and minimizing waiting times in case of urgency.

Medifood provides a range of foods for special medical purposes tailored to different rare diseases, offering support from birth to adulthood while considering the specific nutritional needs of each age group.

Our commitment to providing the essential nutrients for the growth and development of our consumers is at the heart of our approach, supported by the expertise of professional dietitians and physicians.

Our products maintain a high profile of safety and effectiveness, confirmed by clinical studies conducted at both national and international levels.
