| 95-27712 | Lowfat and Skim Milk Products, Lowfat and Nonfat Yogurt Products, Lowfat Cottage Cheese: Proposed Revocation of Standards of Identity; Food Labeling, Nutrient Content Claims for Fat, Fatty Acids and Cholesterol Content of Food | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to remove the standards of identity for sweetened condensed skimmed milk, lowfat milk, skim (nonfat) milk, acidified lowfat milk, acidified skim (nonfat) milk, cultured lowfat milk, cultured skim (nonfat) milk, sour half-and-half, acidified sour half-and-half, lowfat yogurt, nonfat yogurt, and lowfat cottage cheese, based in part, on petitions filed jointly by the Milk Industry Foundation (MIF) and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). FDA also is proposing to remove the standards of identity for evaporated skimmed milk and lowfat dry milk based on a petition filed by the American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI). Removal of these food standards of identity would permit the products covered by these regulations to be manufactured and labeled in accordance with the general definition and standard of identity (the general standard) in the regulations for foods named by use of a nutrient content claim and a standardized term. These products would then be named in a manner that is consistent with the agency's definitions of the terms ``lowfat'' and ``nonfat'' established in response to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the 1990 amendments). This action will provide for consistency in the nomenclature and labeling of these nutritionally modified milk products and other foods bearing ``lowfat'' and ``nonfat'' claims and will promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers. The agency also is proposing to amend the nutrient content claims regulations for fat, fatty acids, and cholesterol content to provide for ``skim'' as a synonym for ``nonfat'' when used in labeling milk products. This action also is a part of the agency's ongoing review of existing regulations under President Clinton's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. | 1995-11-09 | 1995 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/11/09/95-27712/lowfat-and-skim-milk-products-lowfat-and-nonfat-yogurt-products-lowfat-cottage-cheese-proposed | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-11-09/pdf/95-27712.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to remove the standards of identity for sweetened condensed skimmed milk, lowfat milk, skim (nonfat) milk, acidified lowfat milk, acidified skim (nonfat) milk, cultured lowfat milk, cultured skim... |
