What the notification says

This draft notification of the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) (No. …) B.E.... issued by virtue of the Food Act B.E. 2522 Re: 'Cow’s Milk' (No. 3) amends the definitions of 'fresh plain fluid cow's milk' and 'recombined milk', as well as the name designations of these food products. a.

Amend the name designations of 'fresh plain fluid cow's milk' and 'recombined milk' to align with the raw materials used.
