The Food and Drug Administration says using ultra-filtered milk in U.S. cheese production is okay. The FDA released a document Wednesday called a Guidance for Industry which says the FDA’s proposed rule change would let manufacturers use ultra-filtered milk or ultra-filtered nonfat milk to make standardized cheeses and related cheese products if they choose to.
Current regulations permit the use of concentrated, reconstituted, and dried forms of milk and nonfat milk as basic dairy ingredients but do not provide for the use of fluid or dried filtered milk or nonfat milk in cheese production.
