View Rule

On October 19, 2005, FDA issued a proposed rule, entitled Cheeses and Related Cheese Products; Proposal to Permit the Use of Ultrafiltered Milk (70 FR 60751). The final rule will amend our regulations to provide for the use of fluid ultrafiltered milk (fluid UF milk), fluid ultrafiltered nonfat milk (fluid UF nonfat milk), fluid microfiltered milk (fluid MF milk), and fluid microfiltered nonfat milk in the manufacture of standardized cheeses and related cheese products. The final rule also provides an exemption for standardized cheeses and related cheese products containing them from labeling fluid UF milk, fluid UF nonfat milk, fluid MF milk, and fluid MF nonfat milk when used along with milk or nonfat milk in standardized cheeses and related cheese products.
