Dairy Foods and Imitations: Legal Aspects, Standards, and Definitions

Fistere, Habberton, and Durland, Washington, D.C. 20006

ABSTRACT

My role in the Symposium is to examine the relevant law, including standards and definitions, and to investigate what is being done a bout it. I propose first to examine the Federal Law and what is happening in the field. then I shall follow the same Pattern as to State Law.

When we speak of the Federal law applicable to modified dairy products, we mean essentially the Federal Filled Milk Act (21 U.S. Code, Sec. 61 to 64). This statute, enacted by Congress in 1923, casts a long shadow over the entire dairy product regulation.

The Filled Milk Act, in Section 1, defines the term "filled milk" to mean any milk, cream, or skimmed milk, whether or not condensed, evaporated, concentrated, powdered, dried, or desiccated, to which has been added, or which has been blended or compounded with, any fat or oil other than milk fat, so that the resulting product is in imitation or semblance of milk, cream, or skimmed milk, whether or not condensed, evaporated, concentrated, powdered, dried, or desiccated.
