**The Grade “A” Milk Search System**

The Grade “A” Milk Search System (GAMS) is a searchable database that contains FDA’s Grade “A” Milk Memoranda documents (Memoranda of Conference Actions (IMS-a), Memoranda of Information (M-I), Memoranda of Interpretation (M-a), and Memoranda of Milk Ordinance Equipment Compliance (M-b)).

It is intended to provide an efficient application to users with advanced search capabilities allowing stakeholders to access a library of information within the Grade “A” Milk Program.  GAMS supports FDA’s Milk Safety Cooperative Program by providing assistance to state and local milk regulatory/rating agencies, the dairy industry and other interested parties in the safe production of milk and milk products through the application of science-based food safety principles on the farm and at all stages through the processing chain.

Questions regarding the use of GAMS should be directed to FDA’s Division of Dairy, Egg and Meat Products, Milk and Milk Products Branch in FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) at CFSANDairy@fda.hhs.gov.
