Health: New Dairy Product Standards
The update by the Ministry of Health regarding dairy product requirements aims to enhance the quality and ensure compliance with health standards for both imported and local products, in accordance with directives from the Council of Ministers. The update, which took effect on July 2, 2026, includes a comprehensive revision of the requirements for dairy products such as long-life (UHT) milk, pasteurized milk, yogurt, and dairy beverages. It also involves a designated list of approved export countries, following the removal of Cyprus from the list of countries free from FMD (foot-and-mouth disease), which now includes 63 countries such as New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and Ukraine. Additionally, the circular confirms that these requirements apply to all sizes and varieties of these products, with exceptions for certain types of milk-based sweets. The regulations do not cover baby products, organic dairy products, or milk from goats and camels. The purpose of this update is to ensure the safety and quality of dairy products in line with international standards and to facilitate monitoring of the import and trade of dairy products in the local market.
