The U.S. Dairy Export Council, the National Milk Producers Federation, and the Italian dairy industries association Assolatte have formally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding. The overarching objective of this strategic agreement is to forge a robust platform for international collaboration, addressing critical issues that resonate across the global dairy sector.

Chief among the priorities outlined in the Memorandum is the safeguarding of designations, reserving terms such as “milk,” “cheese,” “yogurt,” “butter,” and the like exclusively for products originating from genuine milk sources.
