The petition to Amend the Standard of Identity for Milk, 21 C.F.R. 131.110, to Includes Optional Characterizing Flavoring Ingredients With any Safe and Suitable Sweetener must be stopped. It allows for artificial sweeteners to be placed in milk and other dairy products without being labeled as such. I believe that this is irresponsible. Many people have sensitivities to certain sweeteners and they would have no idea that the sweetener had been added to the product. I have children who struggle with weight and it is imperative that I know how much of a sweetener is being added. I don't understand why the dairy industry would think it necessary to do this. It hurts the consumers of their product.
