Classification policies

Group 1 classification

  5. Milk beverage powders
  6. Dairy and non-dairy ice cream, and other ices

Exclusions:

Policies:
  1. ---

Revisions:
  1. Milk product substitutes, for example produced from soya, are now included in the Milk and milk products main group.

Discussion:
  1. The Liquid milk categories are based on fat content and are used for milks of all species (including human milk) and also for flavoured milks. Further detail on the latter could be recorded using Descriptor System terms. An alternative classification would be to categorise by species and (in a similar way to the suggestion for alcoholic content) to record the fat content through a descriptor. Should Eurocode be able to record the source species for liquid milk?
