Frozen Desserts: Removal of Standards of Identity for Ice Milk and Goat's Milk Ice Milk; Amendment of Standards of Identity for Ice Cream and Frozen Custard and Goat's Milk Ice Cream; Confirmation of Effective Date

Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the effective date of September 14, 1995, for compliance with the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of September 14, 1994 (59 FR 47072), that amended the frozen desserts standards of identity. Among other things, the amendments removed the standard of identity for ice milk and amended the standard of identity for ice cream and frozen custard to provide for the use, in these foods, of safe and suitable sweeteners; skim milk that may be concentrated, and from which part or all of the lactose has been removed by a safe and suitable procedure; and hydrolyzed milk proteins as stabilizers. This rule also removed the standard of identity for goat's milk ice milk and made comparable changes in the standard of identity for goat's milk ice cream, which cross-references the standard of identity for ice cream and frozen custard. The rule also required that all sweeteners other than nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners used in ice cream and frozen custards be declared as part of the name of the food until September 14, 1998.
