🧀FDA Proposes Revocation of Dairy Product Identity Standards
Proposal To Revoke 18 Standards of Identity for Dairy Products
Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is proposing to revoke 18 standards of identity for dairy products. FDA is taking this action as we tentatively conclude that these standards are no longer necessary to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers. This proposed action would reduce redundant regulatory requirements.

The proposed rule to revoke 18 dairy product standards indicates a significant reduction in regulatory burden for businesses, particularly small entities engaged in dairy production. This change is anticipated to provide cost savings and greater flexibility in product innovation, particularly for those whose products are currently covered by redundant standards.
