Abstract
This document revises the United States Standards for Grades of Colby Cheese. The final rule action modifies the standards to recognize differences in cheese characteristics resulting from technological changes in manufacturing practices and to more accurately describe consumer-acceptable product. This action expands the permissible range of open body characteristics to include colby cheese manufactured using automated equipment. The revision was initiated at the request of the National Cheese Institute (NCI) and was developed in cooperation with NCI and other dairy trade associations.
