UNSPSC 50501702: Complete meal replacement drink or mix

Meal replacement generally refers to a calorie-controlled, prepackaged product in the form of a bar or beverage (ready to drink or powder) that replaces a regular meal. Meal-replacement products usually provide limited calories per serving, are fortified with vitamins and minerals, and often bear nutrient content claims such as percent of calories from fat or sugar.

UNSPSC 50501702 Complete meal replacement drink or mix is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure ready-to-drink nutritional beverages and powdered meal replacement products for use in schools, correctional facilities, public health programs, and social services. The scope includes both pre-manufactured liquid meal replacements and dry mixes formulated to provide complete nutritional profiles, typically used to supplement or replace standard meal service in institutional settings or to support nutrition assistance programs targeting vulnerable populations.
