About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has issued a Special Notice seeking industry and public comments on the Draft Mozzarella Cheese Commodity Requirements Document (CRD) to be effective in July 2024. The CRD outlines detailed product specifications for Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella and Lite Mozzarella cheese, including composition requirements, microbiological standards, packaging, labeling, and temperature/age requirements.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to gather feedback on the proposed updates to the mozzarella cheese CRD prior to its finalization, which include requirements for shredded cheese, microbiological requirements, new material and requirements for bulk products for further processing (processor packs), primary and secondary container labeling, and other changes. The Special Notice provides instructions for submitting comments by the July 19, 2024 deadline. The CRD will serve as the comprehensive technical specifications for mozzarella cheese products to be procured under future USDA contract opportunities, which will be open to all eligible manufacturers under NAICS code 311513 - Cheese Manufacturing.
