The Codex Committee on Milk and Milk Products (CCMMP) has recommended that
all Codex Processed Cheese standards be scraped.
After three days of discussion in New Zealand last week, the Committee decided
to revoke the international standards on processed cheese.
US representatives welcomed the move. The International Dairy Foods Association
said The US government and dairy industry have long believed that revoking the
standards would be better than accepting poorly written updates that might
compromise the U.S. processed cheese domestic market.
Another major development at the ninth session of the CCMMP last week was the
finalisation of the Fermented Milk standard.
