# Commission Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the grant of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed and the sale of such skimmed-milk powder, Article 6

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. ‘Denatured skimmed-milk powder’ means products manufactured in accordance with one of the following formulae:
(a) Formula A: 100 kilograms of skimmed-milk powder, plus:
(i) at least 9 kilograms of lucerne meal or grass meal containing at least 50 % (m/m) of particles not exceeding 300 microns,
and
(ii) at least 2 kilograms of starch or puffed (pregelatinised) starch;
(b) Formula B: 100 kilograms of skimmed-milk powder, plus:
(i) at least 5 kilograms of lucerne meal or grass meal containing at least 50 % (m/m) of particles not exceeding 300 microns,
and
(ii) at least 12 kilograms of fish meal, non-deodorised or with a strong smell, containing at least 30 % (m/m) of particles not exceeding 300 microns,
and
(iii) at least 2 kilograms of starch or puffed (pregelatinised) starch.
The particle sizes which, according to BS standard 410-1976, are the closest to the maximum sizes laid down for the particles of the product concerned, without being smaller than them, shall be regarded as equivalent thereto.
2. The substances added to the skimmed-milk powder must be uniformly distributed in the mixture.
Skimmed-milk powder may not be put through any process, either before or after denaturing, that will weaken or neutralise the effects of the denaturing, in particular by using deodorising agents, changing the taste and smell by eliminating the components responsible for gustatory and/or olfactory perception, or adding ingredients giving a taste and smell that mask those of the fish meal.
