Milk (Special Designation) Regulations, 1963
These Regulations, part of which came into force on 29th September,
1963, and the remainder on 1st October, 1964, re-enact with amendments the
Milk (Special Designation) Regulations, 1960.
The principal change in these Regulations is that, from 1st
October, 1964, the designation "Entreated" replaced the designation
"Tuberculin Tested".
The designation "Tuberculin Tested" was considered to be no longer
suitable as a description for some milk only, since all milk produced in
England and Wales now comes from attested herds.
All milk sold by retail in England and Wales must be specially
designated and those designations would in future be "Untreated" (relating to
"Raw" or "Farm Bottled" milks), "Pasteurised" and "Sterilised".
From 29th September, 1963, until 31st December, 1964, a person
holding the appropriate licence could use the words "Tuberculin Tested Milk
(Pasteurised)" as an alternative to the words "Pasteurised Milk" in
relation to milk which has been pasteurised in accordance with the
Regulations.
From 1st October, 1964, until 31st December, 1964, milk could be
labelled as "Tuberculin Tested Milk" if the conditions applicable to the
use of the special designation "Untreated" were otherwise satisfied.
The licences granted during the year are shown in the following table, together with the total numbers in force at the end of the years-
| Licences issued in 1964 | Total number in force at end of year | |
|---|---|---|
| Tuberculin Tested milk | 9 | 164 |
| Pasteurised milk | 12 | 187 |
| Sterilised milk | 6 | 148 |
