— Table B:	includes all the various categories of cheeses (and curds) obtained from all kinds of milk (242), also includes ricotta, the quantities of cheese must exclude the quantities of cheese used to make processed cheese, the subdivision into main hardness categories depends on the moisture content on a fat-free basis (MFFB):

Soft cheese (2421): cheese in which the MFFB when refined is in general not less than 68 %.

Semi-soft cheese (2422): cheese in which the MFFB when refined is in general not less than 62 % and less than 68 %.

Semi-hard cheese (2423): cheese in which the MFFB when refined is in general not less than 55 % and less than 62 %.

Hard cheese (2424): cheese in which the MFFB when refined is in general not less than 47 % and less than 55 %.

Very hard cheese (2425): cheese in which the MFFB when refined is in general less than 47 %.

Fresh cheese (2426): product obtained from sour milk from which most of the serum has been removed (e.g. by draining or pressing). Also includes curds (other than in powder form) containing up to 30 % by weight in the form of sugar and added fruits.

• Includes fresh whey cheese (obtained by concentrating whey and adding milk or milk fat).

PROCESSED CHEESE (25) U.K.

Processed cheese: product obtained by grinding, mixing, melting and emulsifying under the action of heat and with the aid of emulsifying agents one or more varieties of cheese, with or without the addition of milk components and/or other foodstuffs. (Codex Alimentarius — FAO, Volume XVI, Standard A-8 (b)).

CASEIN AND CASEINATES (26) U.K.

Casein: is the main protein constituent of milk. It is obtained from skimmed milk by precipitation (curdling), generally with acids or rennet. The heading covers various types of casein which differ according to the method of curdling, e.g. acid casein and rennet casein (paracasein). (Explanatory notes to the harmonized system — SectionVI, Chapter 35 (No 35.01)).

Caseinates: (salts of casein) include the sodium and ammonium salts known as ‘soluble caseins’; these salts are normally used to prepare concentrated foods and pharmaceutical products. Calcium caseinate is used in the preparation of foodstuffs or as a glue, depending on its character. (Explanatory notes to the harmonized system — SectionVI, Chapter 35 (No 35.01)).

WHEY (27) U.K.

Whey: by-product obtained during the manufacture of cheese or casein. In the liquid state, whey contains natural constituents (on average 4,8 % lactose, 0,8 % protein and 0,2 % fats by weight of the product) which remain when the casein and the majority of the fat have been removed from the milk.

Total whey (27): also includes the whey used in the dairy for manufacturing animal feedingstuffs.

• Items 271 (whey delivered in the liquid state), 272 (whey used in the concentrated state), 273 (whey in powder or block form), 274 (lactose), 275 (lactalbumin) are to be given in their effective weight. Only item 27 (total whey) is to be given in its liquid whey equivalent and must in no event be the sum of the abovementioned quantities.

Whey delivered in the liquid state (271): whey delivered to be used mainly for animal feeds. Quantities used as raw materials for other processes must be excluded.

Whey delivered in the concentrated state (272).

Whey in powdered or block form (273).

Lactose (milk sugar) (274).

Lactalbumin (275): one of the main components of whey protein.

OTHER MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS (28) U.K.

• This heading relates to manufactured milk products (to be specified) not designated elsewhere, mainly lactoferrins.

• Also includes manufactured farm products collected from agricultural holdings (under heading Availability/III.4) and placed on the market without processing (excluding packaging or maturing).
