The use of dairy terms for labelling and promotional information
This factsheet provides information on the principles of food labelling and the rules as laid down by the Codex General Standard on the Use of Dairy Terms to provide an internationally accepted framework to protect the integrity of milk and milk products
Dairy Industry Salts
Excessive salts, especially sodium, can have an adverse effect on the environment. If the proportion of sodium to other cations is high when dairy plant wastewater is applied to land, the soil structure risks deterioration. If so, the soil can no longer treat the applied wastewater and becomes water logged.
Salts and the Environment – IDF Factsheet 1
Salts K, Na and Ca occur either in milk from farms or in the chemicals used to clean the manufacturing plants. These salts end up in wastewater which is then discharged into the environment. This factsheet describes the sources of salts in the dairy industry and their effects on the environment.
Antimicrobial Resistance – IDF Factsheet
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria has had profound effects on the management of therapeutic approaches to both human and veterinary diseases. Treatment and control of mastitis is the most common use of antimicrobials in dairy cows.
