🧀FDA Permits Market Testing of Innovative Cheese Product

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing an amendment to the temporary permit issued to Bongards' Creameries to market test pasteurized process cheese deviating from the standard of identity for these cheeses by using extra virgin olive oil as the slice anti-sticking agent. We are also announcing an extension to this permit, which allows Bongards' Creameries to continue to evaluate commercial viability of the product and to collect data on consumer acceptance of the product in support of a petition to amend the standard of identity. We invite other interested parties to participate in the market test.
