PROPOSED DRAFT AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL STANDARD FOR THE LABELLING OF PREPACKAGED FOODS (CLASS NAMES) (Agenda Item 7)[8]

50) The Committee recalled that the provisions of the proposed draft amendment on class names had been referred by the Committee on Milk and Milk Products and that the last session had agreed to circulate two proposals for further comments at Step 3 of the normal Procedure.

51) The Committee had an exchange of views and agreed to combine the two classes into one. Some delegations proposed a minimum level of 50% milk protein. The Committee agreed to put the title of the class name, "milk protein/milk protein product" and the minimum level of milk protein, "30/35%" in square brackets.
