SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment sets standards for the use of food marketing terms
that state or imply that the food is or is substantially based on dairy
products. The basic list of dairy terms is set out in the Schedule and may
be added to by the Minister.
|
|
|
|
The enactment also provides for restrictions on the use of dairy terms
with respect to traditional dairy products. However, it allows their use
in certain cases where the product is not a pure dairy product or one with
the minor addition of other products, but does not contain any
ingredient that is a substitute for milk.

|
|
The enactment provides for the designation of inspectors to enforce
the Act, establishes offences and sets penalties.
