OTTAWA — The Canadian Dairy Commission has created a new milk class for mozzarella cheese that is used on fresh pizzas. The change is expected to result in potentially lower costs to pizza operators.
“Today’s announcement is good news for Canadian dairy farmers, processors and our restaurant industry,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “This is a good example of how greater collaboration between the whole value chain can help grow markets for our farmers while keeping Canada’s restaurant industry competitive.”
The new class comes into effect June 1. It will cover standardized mozzarella cheeses to be used strictly on fresh pizzas by establishments registered with the CDC, under terms and conditions approved by the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee.
