| Title |
Proposed changes to the document called "Common
Names for Ingredients and Components" for milk ingredients and modified milk ingredients |
| Summary |
Ingredients and components must be shown in the list of ingredients on food labels by their common names. For certain ingredients and components, there is an option to use a common name for the class of foods they belong to instead of their individual common names.
The optional common names for certain classes of ingredients and components are set out in Table 2 of the Common Names for Ingredients and Components document, which is incorporated by reference into the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR).
CFIA is proposing to change:
• the common name "modified milk ingredients" to "milk-derived ingredients" and «substance laitières modifiées » to « ingrédients dérivés du lait »
• the French common name from « substances laitières » to « ingrédients du lait »because it is a more accurate translation of "milk ingredients."
• the ingredients or components that are allowed to use the common name "milkingredients" and "modified milk ingredients."
