National Farmers Union Petition to the Food and Drug Administration

"Don't Change the Definition of Milk"!

I oppose FDA changing the definition of milk.  I am adamantly opposed to allowing liquid untra-filtered milk to be used as an ingredient in natural cheese and cheese products.  The change would seriously compromise decades of work and investment by our nation's dairy farmers and quality cheese makers, and be a serious deception to our nation's consumers who depend on the FDA to assure a quality and safe food supply. And besides, FDA's Deputy Commissioner Lester Crawford said in April 2003 " only God can  change the definition of milk"!  Keep current rules in place.  It is my expectation that public hearings on ALL petitions before FDA would be held throughout the United States.
