The US FDA has issued guidance for Small and Medium Enterprises to comply with the upcoming (1 January 2024) Standard of Identity rules for yoghurt. Such guidance is a reminder to any laboratory testing compliance with a food’s “legal name” that the legal specification will vary depending on the country of sale.
The new US rules cover pH, minimum counts of active cultures or vitamins (if claimed). and minimum requirements for milk fat and milk solids. There are specific labelling requirements for lower fat yoghurts.
