health requirements have b een laid down, constituting a new regulatory framework in 
this area, which should be taken into account  in this Regulation. In addition, Directive 
92/46/EEC was repealed by Directive 2004/41/EC  of the European Parliament and of 
the Council repealing certain Directive con cerning food hygiene and health conditions

milk as milk produced by the secretion of the mammary gland of farmed animals that 
has not been heated to more than 40 °C  or undergone any treatment that has an 
equivalent effect. In addition, it defines dair y products as processed products resulting
