Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation names three specific milk products—butter powder, butteroil, and ghee—and confirms they count as “dairy produce” under the Dairy Produce Research and Sales Promotion Act.

What this means:

If you process or trade these specific products, you’re now covered by the Act’s provisions (which typically include industry levies that fund dairy research and marketing campaigns).
Without this rule, these concentrated or powdered butter products might have sat in a legal grey area, potentially excluding them from the levy system.

Why it matters: The Act used a broad definition of “dairy produce” but left the details to regulations. This 1964 instrument simply plugs the gap, ensuring processed milk derivatives are treated the same as fresh milk and cheese for funding and regulatory purposes. It’s a technical fix with real wallet implications for processors.
