Taiwan Regulates Naming and Labeling of Dairy Products

On December 1, 2013, TFDA announced the draft of Regulations on Naming and Labeling of Fresh Milk, UHT Fresh Milk, Flavored Milk, Milk Drink and Milk Powder. The period of public consultation is 30 days.

TFDA indicates that new definitions, stipulations and labeling standards of milk based drink, UHT milk drink, milk powder, and modified milk powder are newly added in the Draft.

The raw material of fresh milk and UHT milk drink is mainly raw milk, but flavored milk and UHT flavored milk usually only contain a 50% raw milk concentration. In this way, fortified milk powders (milk with added nutrients) and milk with flavor enhancers must be labeled “modified milk powder” rather than “milk powder”. Milk drink, UHT milk drink, milk powder and modified milk powder that are newly added in the Draft are made by blending milk powder as the raw material with water or nutrition ingredients and flavors.

Furthermore, the outer packaging labeling of dairy products should conform to the definition of the products. For example, only fresh milk can be labeled “fresh milk”, and milk based drink should only be labeled “milk drink”. For modified milk powder, the percentage of milk powder should be clearly marked on the outer packaging of the products.
