Flavored Milk; Petition to Amend the Standard of Identity for Milk and 17 Additional Dairy Products

This petition is to include sweeteners such aspartame in the definition of “milk” so that it can be covertly included as an ingredient without having to label it as such.  This is another example of the trend toward removing the nutrients from food and replacing them with toxins. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have filed a petition requesting that the Agency amend the standard of identity for milk and 17 other dairy products to provide for the use of any safe and suitable sweetener as an optional ingredient. FDA is issuing this notice to request comments, data, and information about the issues presented in the petition.
