·         Both the mandatory standard SI 244 dealing with sour cream and the mandatory standard SI 285 dealing with fermented milk products will be revised and combined into this proposed standard;

·         The test methods described in SI 244 and SI 285 were moved to the proposed standard SI 5930 "Milk and milk products -Test methods", as notified in G/TBT/N/ISR/382 and G/TBT/N/ISR/384;

·         The "fermented milk products" were defined according to the Codex Alimentarius standard CXS 243 -2003 and the American Code of Federal Regulation CFR 21 (Volume 2) PART 131: 2019;

·         Section 6.2 "additives" allows adding different food products into the fermented milk products;
