Paragraph 3 C. Conditions applicable to producers' licences and untreated milk distributors' licences

The milk shall be produced, handled, treated, stored and distributed, as the case may be, under such conditions that—

(a)

any sample of milk in relation to which the special designation is used, and

(b)

any sample of milk from the herd in respect of which a licence authorising the use of the special designation is in force (whether the designation is used in relation to that milk or not), if the sample is taken before the milk has been placed in containers for delivery to the consumer or while it is in the possession of the producer, shall, if the sample has been taken, transported and kept in accordance with Part I of Schedule 5, satisfy the coliform test and the plate count test prescribed in Parts II and III of that Schedule. The sample shall be deemed to satisfy the coliform test if the coliform count is less than 100 per ml. The sample shall be deemed to satisfy the plate count test if the plate count is not more than 20,000 per ml.
