Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations clarify that casein (a protein extracted from milk used in cheese-making and industrial products) counts as “dairy produce” under the Dairy Produce Export Control Act.

What it does:

Expands the definition of dairy produce to explicitly include casein
Ensures casein exports are subject to the same government oversight, quality controls, and licensing requirements as other dairy products (such as milk, butter, or cheese)

Who it affects:

Exporters of milk-derived proteins and food manufacturers shipping casein overseas
Government agencies responsible for certifying dairy exports

Why it matters: Without this clarification, casein might have fallen outside the export control regime, creating a loophole for unregulated exports of a commercially significant milk product.
