Definition and standard of identity for yogurt
USA
Mar 22, 2022
FDA notes that the definition and standard of identity established in 1981 included a minimum titratable acidity requirement of 0.9 percent, but that provision was stayed by the filing of objections in 1981 (47 FR 41519 at 41523, September 21, 1982). Consequently, no minimum titratable acidity requirement or maximum pH requirement is in effect.
This notice provides clarification on which provisions of the 2021 final rule have been stayed and which requirements of the 1981 final rule are in effect pending final action under section 701(e) of the FD&C Act.
