Milk and milk products (food information)

Draft Royal Decree on the indication of the origin of milk used as raw material on the labelling of milk and milk products

The main purpose of this standard is to regulate the mandatory indication of the origin of milk used as raw material on the labelling of milk and milk products manufactured in Spain that are marketed on Spanish territory and, in accordance with Article 39 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, the draft has followed the notification procedure of Article 45 of said regulation.

Furthermore, Article 5 contains provisions relating to additional voluntary information, in particular, concerning the place of territorial or regional origin that will supplement the mandatory particulars of origin provided for in Article 3 and the requirements that this voluntary information must comply with. This has resulted in the draft being notified under Directive (EU) 2015/1535, in accordance with the European Commission's request.
