Editorial note:
Clause 4 of Standard 1.2.4 requires ingredients to be declared using the common name of the ingredient, or a name that describes the true nature of the ingredient, or if applicable a generic name. This requirement means that in relation to cheese made from unpasteurised milk, the ingredient declaration should include a statement that the milk is unpasteurised, and in the case of cheese made other than from cow’s milk, should also include the common name of the species from which the milk is sourced.
