President’s IntroductionI’m delighted to share with you the IDF Annual Report for 2018/19, which highlights our key activities and successes over the last incredibly busy year.

Dairy provides up to one billion livelihoods

1 Billion

Milk production is steadily growing: 2.2% on average every year since 2000.

2.2%

As you know our sector has been under intense scrutiny in the past year, particularly regarding the environment and sustainable diets. IDF has been proactive in bringing together leading scientists through its work on ruminants and sustainable diets, to make sure we get the facts on dairy out there. Those who attended the joint IDF/BAMST event in Brussels in February will have seen some of the great work presented.

We have been working hard to drive the environmental agenda forward, and you’ll see details on our work within this report.

In this age of misinformation and confusion, we are increasingly finding ourselves having to defend the nutritional integrity of dairy products. This is an area the team has worked tremendously hard at addressing in the last year – from working within the UN Committee on Food Security (CFS) to influencing work in Rome, Geneva and New York. The team has also worked hard to reinforce the importance and value of dairy in global nutritional security.

We all know that as a sector we are measured on more than our environmental and nutritional performance. We feed countless people around the world with our foods and ingredients so food safety and standards must remain a top priority. IDF has continued to serve its members as an advisor to Codex and many other bodies. In the last year, we have assisted in the development of important standards and promoted best practices in food safety. We have also worked to promote best practice in animal welfare and farm management.

IDF has taken big steps forward in its communications. I have been delighted to hear members tell me over the course of the last year that they feel more informed and are pleased with how much our communications have improved. We will continue to develop in this area.

As I look forward to next year and think about the challenges and opportunities for IDF and its members, I can’t help but reflect upon the fact that IDF would not have thrived and achieved all that it has over the last 116 years without a strong, supportive and motivated network, and great partners. Our unified voice as IDF members is vital in ensuring a positive future of the global sector. I would like to thank our DG and Head Office team for their tireless work and dedication over the last year.

I look forward to continuing to work with all of you to help deliver a sustainable and successful future for the global dairy sector.

Annual Report 2018-19 7International Dairy Federation Annual Report 2018-196 International Dairy Federation

In 2018, the trade of milk products equals around 94.1 billion USD in terms of value.

$94.1 Billion

I’m proud to present our Annual Report for the 2018-19 business year.

Message from the Director General

World milk production is expected to grow to 981 million tonnes by 2028.

981 million

It provides an overall picture of the performance of the Federation and showcases IDF’s outstanding scientific and technical work as well as in the areas of representation, advocacy and communications. Whilst we celebrate past achievements in this report, we have also been busy laying the foundations for the future, ensuring we remain able to support IDF members in their work through science-based dairy expertise.

While the dairy sector is currently dealing with a number of challenges, the long-term global outlook remains positive. According to the OECD, world milk production is expected to grow at 1.7% p.a. (to 981 Mt by 2028) over the next decade, faster than most other main agricultural commodities. Rising populations and revenue growth are increasing demand for dairy, particularly in Asia and Africa. IDF’s focus remains on helping our members and stakeholders to provide safe and sustainable milk and dairy food to meet these demands.

This year we worked tirelessly to ensure recognition of the positive contribution of dairy in society and UN Sustainable Development Goals, and to safeguard dairy’s important role in healthy and sustainable diets. We collaborated with key stakeholders and reinforced strategic partnerships with bodies such as Codex Alimentarius, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other intergovernmental agencies as representatives of the dairy sector. We welcomed initiatives that support the global sector, including the launch of the UN Decade of Family Farming, which highlights the important role family farms play in eliminating hunger and shaping the world’s food future.

This year our priority activities have included:

• Explaining and promoting the interface between nutrition and sustainability, reinforcing the message that milk and dairy products are a crucial part of healthy and sustainable diets, and redressing misinformation that states the contrary

• Playing a central role in developing and collaborating on global standards that build greater confidence, consistency and transparency within the dairy sector and beyond

• Continuing to respond to the sector’s call for expertise on a range of sectoral issues, including antimicrobial resistance, sustainable agriculture and nutrition and animal welfare

• Ensuring that IDF’s programme of work remains relevant to the evolving market realities and needs of the dairy sector, balancing scientific integrity and industry applicability

• Remaining alert to developments globally that may affect the dairy sector and equipping our members with the information they need to respond.

Also noteworthy is the work accomplished by our Dairy Policies and Economic experts to provide relevant data and analysis for the World Dairy Situation Report and Dairy Declaration measuring and reporting project, and of our Standing Committee on Marketing, which helped raise understanding of consumer and marketing trends. IDF’s Global Marketing Trends report will be published at the end of the year.

I would like to thank our experts around the world and our employees who play an active role in helping deliver IDF’s mandate and programme of work.

Message from the Chair of the Science Programme Coordination Committee (SPCC)

Since the last World Dairy Summit in Daejeon, the SPCC has been actively continuing its work, reviewing progress of current projects and evaluating new proposals. Alongside this, the SPCC has continued to build on and develop the strength of its interactions with our Board, Chairs and Deputy Chairs, by increasing collaboration and the sharing of information.

Looking ahead, I envision the SPCC’s role as a catalyst for innovative ideas and critical responsive thinking to confirm and promote the essential role of dairy in safe, nutritious, healthy and sustainable diets. We must continue to move forward, guided by the feedback of the IDF Board, Standing Committees and National Committees, to enable IDF to focus on areas of shared need within the global dairy sector.

We remain committed to increasing synergies between the various experts of the IDF community to maximise knowledge and resources and ensuring that IDF’s programme of work sticks tightly to our strategic goals and delivers value for the sector. We have revised the New Work Item template to focus our work and the prioritisation process of work items.

We will also continue to enhance communications and visibility to showcase the depth of IDF’s knowledge and breadth of expertise, and to encourage more dairy experts to contribute to IDF’s work.

The new communication strategy implemented by IDF is an important way of spreading IDF’s goldmine of works and studies, whilst also affirming its usefulness and value to the dairy sector. Improving IDF’s visibility will also allow the organisation to attract more experts keen to demonstrate and improve their expertise and encourage key intergovernmental organisations and influencers to endorse, use and promote IDF’s work and its publications.

I would like to thank my colleagues on the SPCC and our network for their work and commitment to making our organisation and the dairy sector better and stronger.

Piercristiano Brazzale SPCC Chair

As I complete my first year as Chair of the SPCC, I reflect upon how much has been achieved in the last 12 months. Undoubtedly, we have witnessed a very busy and productive year with positive results for the sector we represent across many essential areas.


The Dairy Declaration of Rotterdam

17 Goals to Transform Our WorldDuring the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, 193 member countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This represented a unanimous commitment to end poverty, protect the planet, and end inequality by 2030.

Dairy’s commitment to sustainable development: The Dairy DeclarationA formal commitment by the dairy sector to contribute to the achievement of key Sustainable Development Goals was made through the signing of the Dairy Declaration of Rotterdam during the IDF World Dairy Summit in 2016. In it, the sector agrees to:

• Take an integrated approach to promote the sustainability of dairy systems, jointly taking into consideration social, economic, health and environmental dimensions

• Give particular attention to the needs of family farmers, small holders and pastoralists

• Build, implement and disseminate tools and guidelines to facilitate the identification and adoption of sustainable practices in the dairy sector

• Build capacity in support of sustainable practices and provide enabling conditions

• Measure and report on sustainability outcomes

• Strengthen multi-stakeholder dialogue for consensus building, reviewing progress and continuous improvement.

We are delivering on these commitments through work at national level and the IDF programme of work. You will find examples of those actions in this Annual Report as well as in the Dairy Sustainability Outlook 2018 and 2019. It should also be noted that IDF has aligned its overarching strategic goals with the UN SDGs.

More information about the dairy sector’s commitment to sustainable development goals through the Dairy Declaration is available on the IDF website www.fil-idf.org.

Highlights of our year Projects

2018-2019

IDF/ISO standard for analytical methods for Infant formulaIDF/ISO partnered with AOAC International to develop standardised analytical methods for infant formula, and subsequently published three standards for milk and milk products: ISO 15151 | IDF 229:2018; ISO 21424 I IDF 243:2018 and ISO 21422| IDF 242:2018. The two latter standards were adopted by CCMAS and CAC to verify relevant provisions in the Codex Standard for Infant formula. ISO 15151 | IDF 229 will be considered by CCNFSDU in November 2019. Further details available in this report.

Partnerships & collaborationOctober 2018

UN Committee on Food SecurityIDF has been a leading participant in the development of voluntary guidelines on nutrition and food systems, and the need to assure a holistic approach to address the current fragmentation between the food and health sectors. Negotiations will continue from December 2019-October 2020.

Partnerships & collaborationOctober 2018

2nd OIE global conference on Antimicrobial ResistanceIDF gave a presentation on antimicrobial resistance management in the dairy sector at the 2nd global conference. The event brought together experts, professionals, policy makers, international organisations and donors, with the aims of increasing understanding of the current global situation on antimicrobial resistance in animals, and to developing recommendations for future sustained control of AMR, while ensuring animal health, animal welfare, veterinary public health and food security.

Partnerships & collaborationFebruary 2019

IDF Director-General appointed as Chair of LEAP PartnershipIn February 2019, IDF Director-General Caroline Emond was appointed Chair of FAO LEAP. The multi-stakeholder partnership will continue working to enhance sustainability throughout the entire livestock sector.

Partnerships & collaboration2018-2019

Joint workingIDF collaborated regularly with other organisations within the sector such as the Global Dairy Platform (GDP), Global Alliance for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) and the World Veterinary Association, to develop communications and other activities. These efforts serve to raise the profile of the global dairy sector,

giving it a greater voice and increasing opportunities for the sector’s key messages to be heard. Further details on joint activities are available in

this report.

Partnerships & collaborationMarch 2019

Interaction with UNEPIDF’s Director General and the Chair of IDF Standing Committee on Environment participated in the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi, presenting a case study on the dairy sector’s innovative approaches to reducing food waste and how dairy can contribute to sustainable food systems and tackle food waste at an Assembly side event.

AdvocacyMarch 2019

Codex Committee on Food AdditivesIDF participated in the 51st session of the Codex Committee on Food Additives at the end of March in Jinan, China. The session addressed several topics of importance for the dairy sector, including alignment of food additives provisions from 13 Codex standards for ripened cheeses, stabilisers in category 1.1.2 other fluids milk, and technological justification for anticaking agents and preservatives in the Codex standard for Mozzarella.

The past 12 months have been incredibly busy for IDF. On these pages we share just some of our activities over the past year.

Making the sector heardCommunications to promote both the dairy sector and IDF work is a vital part of what we do. This year, we’ve participated in campaigns for World Antibiotic Awareness Week, World Milk Day, the first ever World Food Safety Day, International Day of Biodiversity and World Environment Day, to name a few. IDF actively promotes the role of dairy as part of healthy and sustainable diets while supporting our members with communications tools, monitoring and advocacy efforts to counteract articles and reports that misrepresent the livestock and dairy sectors. Our President and Director General continue to be active in representing IDF and the sector at many high-level international events and conferences, meeting with global ambassadors, representing the sector at the UN and at important industry conferences.

ProjectsOngoing

Protein from a dairy perspectiveIn addition to preparing a landscape analysis paper on protein form a dairy perspective, IDF contributed to Codex work on developing nitrogen conversion factors for soy and milk ingredients for infant formula. Current and future challenges relating to nourishing a growing world population mean that protein amount and quality must be accurately determined using scientifically robust methods. IDF is a vital contributor to the Codex discussion and provided a technical note and data provided

in two bulletins to support the ongoing FAO/WHO work on the topic.

ProjectsOngoing

Harmonizing fat content analysis in dairy productsIDF in collaboration with ISO has been working to revise standardised methods for the determination of fat content in milk products into one single standard. This has great importance for the sector, impacting the determination of milk prices, and in classifying milk for the preparation of derivatives. The merger of standards will result in harmonised and consistent descriptions.

ProjectsJuly 2019

Harmonisation of international standards for microbiologyIDF partnered with ISO to harmonise international standardised methods for microbiology. The new ISO 17410 replaces two IDF/ISO standards (ISO 6730 | IDF 101 Milk -- Enumeration of colony-forming units of psychrotrophic microorganisms -- Colony-count technique at 6,5 degrees C° and ISO 8552 | IDF 132 – Milk – Estimation of psychrotrophic microorganisms – Colony-count

technique at 21°C).

AdvocacyJuly 2019

42nd Codex Alimentarius CommitteeA delegation from IDF attended the CAC42 discussions in Geneva in July. The meetings looked at key standards and guidelines for food and beverages and the adoption of the Codex Strategic Plan 2020-2025.

EventJune 2019

IDF/ISO Analytical Week 2019An important event in the calendar for those working the field of dairy products analysis, this event in June 2019 in Prague welcomed more than 130 delegates from 22 countries, as well as representatives of other standards development organisations such as AOAC International, ICAR and USP.

ProjectsJune 2019

Improving quality assessment in compositional analysis of dairy productsRapid and reliable compositional analysis using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been routinely applied for quality assessment in the dairy industry for over thirty years. To further improve quality assessment procedures, IDF and ISO produced an update which covers a wider range of sample matrices in liquid, semisolid or solid forms and related measurement approaches and procedures.

EventJune 2019

The Role of Ruminants in Sustainable DietsThe latest science to correctly assess the nutritional and environmental implications of ruminant livestock within a sustainable food system was presented by high-level international speakers at this joint symposium with the Belgian Association of Meat Science and Technology in June 2019. The event was also an affiliated project of the 10YFP Sustainable Food Systems Programme.

AdvocacyMay 2019

Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and SamplingIDF worked on the review of the list of methods for milk and milk products listed in the Codex STAN 234 which help to verify provisions contained in Codex standards. This work will continue in 2020.

EventMay 2019

IDF Mastitis Conference 2019At a conference organised by SEGES and supported by IDF, experts in udder health from around the globe discussed preventative solutions for mastitis, with the aim of achieving a reduction of this

disease in dairy cattle and ultimately improving animal care, welfare and milk production.

AdvocacyMay 2019

Codex Committee on Food LabellingAt the 45th Codex Committee on Food Labelling in May, IDF presented a position on guidelines on front-of pack nutrition labelling and for non-retail containers, highlighting the need for unambiguous food labelling to ensure consumer trust and ensure nutritional integrity.


Science-based standards to ensure trust

Providing expertise on standards for methods of analysisIDF regularly participates in the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS), which addresses methods of analysis and sampling across all food commodities. An active contributor, IDF provides updates on references to IDF/ISO methods for milk and milk products in cases of updates or withdrawal, and participates in discussions on topics of relevance for the dairy sector. A significant project for 2019 was the review of the list of methods for milk and milk products listed in the Codex STAN 234 which help to verify provisions contained in Codex standards. IDF reviewed several methods and proposed editorial changes and/or technical updates. While about two-thirds of the standards listed for dairy products have now been reviewed and agreed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, another third will be discussed at the next CCMAS session in 2020.

Looking aheadRevision of ISO 7889|IDF 117:2003 – Yoghurt – Enumeration of characteristic microorganismsISO 7889|IDF 117:2003 is an important and widely used standard in the dairy industry, both by producers of fermented milk products/yoghurt and ingredient developers and

IDF has contributed to the development of standards for the dairy sector since 1903, and has closely collaborated with Codex since its inception in 1963 to share its standards and expertise for milk and milk products, with safety and fair-trade practices at heart, along with other international organisations such as FAO, WHO, OIE and ISO. IDF helps countries to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade by pro-actively contributing to the development of science-based, globally harmonised standards, guidelines, codes of practice and related methodologies, continually improving the regulatory environments of the dairy sector. IDF’s strength lies in building consensus, working together and developing dairy standards that are grounded in science to enhance trust in dairy products and production.

Safeguarding the recognition of dairy specific nutritional contribution through the correct usage of dairy terms and front-of-pack labellingIDF has taken a leading role in Codex discussions on Front of Pack Labelling to ensure stakeholders continue to recognise dairy’s role in healthy diets through the oversimplified messages of these schemes. Going forward, we aim to ensure alignment with national dietary guidelines, and to guarantee that schemes are based on sound scientific evidence which consider overall health benefits rather than individual nutrients.

Another key focus for IDF continues to be the protection of dairy terms to ensure that food products using dairy terms (such as milk) come from dairy animals, and that they comply with the quality standards for dairy products valid in the country in question. These quality standards

are not only important for consumers, but also for traders of dairy products and manufacturers using dairy products as ingredients. IDF has established an Action Team on the Protection of Dairy Terms (ATPDT) to advance work in this area, with the aim of developing better awareness of the importance of the protection of dairy terms, to facilitate trade and improve regulatory environments for the dairy sector.

IDF and Codex: joint efforts in food safetyThe IDF and Codex are long-standing partners in tackling existing and newly emerging threats to food safety, with IDF serving as an essential technical advisor on all issues related to milk and milk products. IDF is an active participant in several Codex Committees, including the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH), and Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods. IDF has been working closely with Codex to progress the General Standard for Food Additives (CCFA) in an effort which aims to align current food additives provisions in the commodity standards with the standard. In 2019, Codex adopted the changes needed to harmonise provisions in the 13 Codex Standards for ripened cheeses.

One of the major challenges for manufacturers, importers and exporters in recent times has been the discrepancy between two sets of references for the additives that are allowed in foods. This is therefore an important decision that will have a positive impact on the dairy sector. It is also very encouraging that CCFA has welcomed IDF’s support in preparing the alignment work for another 9 dairy standards, to be addressed at the 2020 session of CCFA. This is an important step in removing international trade barriers, and IDF will continue to work closely with Codex on dairy standards and other important issues for the sector.

suppliers. This recently launched revision will allow the standard to be aligned with recent methodological and technological developments, facilitating maximum reliability and reproducibility of results and thus optimising product quality and safety.

New standardised methodology for the determination of sugars in dairy products in developmentThis aims to provide an IDF/ISO standard for the determination of normal sugars in dairy products for labelling purposes resulting in global uniform labelling of the sugars in dairy products (galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose and maltose). The method should be applicable for the following different dairy matrices: milk, including milk, milk powder, cheese, whey powder, infant formula, milk dessert and yogurt. The collaborative study validating the protocol was recently completed. Expected publication: 2020.

International Standard for amino acids in infant formulaIDF with ISO and AOAC International are currently finalising recognised methods for the determination of amino acids in infant formula to fill in a gap in verifying compliance with Codex STAN-72 1981 Infant formula and formulas for special medical purposes intended for infants, which is the basis for many national regulations and includes requirements regarding amino acid composition.

Codex to address food additives provisions in dairy standards The next nine dairy standards to be addressed at the 2020 session of CCFA are currently under discussion. These are:

• The General Standard for Cheese, (CODEX STAN 283-1978)

• The Group Standard for Unripened Cheese including Fresh Cheese, (CODEX STAN 221-2001)

• The Group Standard for Cheeses in Brine, (CODEX STAN 208-1999)

• The Standard for Cottage Cheese, (CODEX STAN 273-1968)

• The Standard for Cream Cheese, (CODEX STAN 275-1973)

• The Standard for Extra Hard Grating Cheese, (CODEX STAN 278-1978)

• The Standard for a Blend of Evaporated Skimmed Milk and Vegetable Fat, (CODEX STAN 250-2006)

• The Standard for a Blend of Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vegetable Fat, (CODEX STAN 252-2006)

• The Standard for a Blend of Skimmed Milk and Vegetable Fat, (CODEX STAN 251-2006).

The remainder of the dairy standards is expected to be addressed by CCFA in 2021 subject to progress at and confirmation by CCFA in 2020. The IDF Action Team on Alignment of the Standing Committee on Food Additives will begin work on this last set before the end of 2019.


Sustainability – a holistic approachThe IDF supports a vibrant dairy sector committed to adopting sustainable practices and ultimately being a key contributor to sustainable food systems. We provide science-based expertise that helps the sector produce safe and nutritious milk and dairy products from healthy animals, to preserving and enhancing natural resources, and ensuring decent livelihoods across the whole dairy value chain. It is part of our mission to ensure that dairy is produced as sustainably as possible. We work with our members to engage dairy farmers, co-ops, companies and others in promoting the use of sustainable practices, and in developing tools and initiatives aimed at maximising positive and minimising negative impacts on dairy animals, the environment and communities. IDF takes a leading role in sharing knowledge on innovative and eco-friendly dairy farming and dairy processing technologies that focus on high quality animal care, and encourages the industry to adopt energy-saving, low-carbon and water-efficient practices, minimising negative socioeconomic and environmental impacts.

Ensuring a reasoned debateIn the climate change debate, the environmental footprint of agriculture has been often discussed in recent years, with much of the discourse around food focusing on the potential impact of cattle. However, research

and practice has demonstrated ways in which ruminants can help improve the sustainability of farms, increasing resilience to extreme weather and supporting the livelihoods of some of the land’s best stewards.

As we go forward with important and necessary conversations about sustainable food systems, it is IDF’s priority to ensure that opinion formers and policy makers recognise the central place dairy livestock have in the global ecosystem. IDF and its members have also been striving to drive the environmental agenda forward, developing reports such as the Dairy Sustainability Outlook to share best practice and increase efficiency.

Sharing knowledge and innovation to advance the sectorHealthy and productive dairy animals are vital to the provision of a safe, sufficient and nutritious food supply at a time of a rapidly increasing global population. Today, dairy producers are increasingly taking animal welfare into account and some have come to see it as a characteristic of quality of their products. Consumer interest in animal welfare is growing and this is having a tremendous influence on the market for animals and animal products. Through events and other activities, IDF has been working to share innovation

and research on mastitis management, with the aim of achieving a reduction in mastitis in dairy cattle, to minimize the need for antimicrobial use and ultimately improving animal care, welfare and milk production. Other important projects have included the joint IDF and OIE Guide to Good Animal Welfare in Dairy Production, supported by FAO, which promotes the implementation of good animal welfare practices in dairy production on a global scale.

In 2019, IDF joined the Horizon 2020 consortium DISARM, which promotes responsible use of antibiotics in livestock farming by actively identifying, sharing and disseminating best practices. It will pilot and further unroll a multi-actor coaching method to stimulate farmers towards a more responsible use of antibiotics.

Fostering collaboration within the global dairy sectorPoverty and hunger eradication are among the greatest challenges facing the world today. The demand for livestock products is expected to increase substantially in the next 30 years. The livestock sector can contribute to addressing these challenges by promoting inclusive social development, sustained economic growth, and efficient use of natural resources.

IDF contributes to the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, a multi-stakeholder partnership which looks to ensure the dairy sector is working towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. IDF has actively collaborated on two action networks: The Livestock Anti-microbial Partnership and Animal Welfare Action Network. Thanks to the support of the IDF National Committees, IDF continues to participate actively in the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) partnership. LEAP 3 is focused on road testing LEAP guidelines and the development, revision and dissemination of previously developed guidelines. IDF is also a governor of the Dairy Sustainability Framework, which provides a global framework for a holistic approach to sustainability in the dairy value chain.

Launched in 2016, the IDF Dairy Farmers Roundtable continues to go from strength to strength and is an important mechanism which supports farmers in building stronger networks with others from the whole dairy sector. The outcome is improvements in supply chains, nutrition and the ecology of our planet, further improving efficiency, effectiveness, and the sustainability credentials of the dairy sector.

Looking aheadInterpretation of Goal Milk Somatic Cell Count (SCC)IDF is developing new guidance for the interpretation of goat milk SCC and total bacterial count at individual level and herd level, as well as for proper implementation as a parameter in quality payment systems for milk and cheese. A common understanding on normal levels is lacking as the physiological normal level in goat milk is quite different from other species. The final goal is to attempt defining a SCC threshold for the goat dairy industry.

Solid Waste ManagementIDF is currently developing an overview of existing solutions for solid waste management in dairy processing. The ultimate deliverable is a technical report that will support and encourage dairies to reduce/recycle solid waste and gather best practices in the circular economy. The report covers solid waste management of dairy processors from a full value chain perspective, including upstream raw materials, dairy plant operations and downstream, such as retail stores.

Helping to close the nutritional gapAs the world population continues to increase, it will become even more critical to provide nutrient rich foods in a way that addresses the health of individuals and sustainability concerns. Much of IDF’s work focuses on exploring the huge potential the dairy sector has for tackling malnutrition and creating food security, promoting greater understanding of the nutritional value of dairy and the role it plays in healthy and sustainable diets through better understanding the science which determines the impact of dairy products on nutrition and health.

Balanced and informed choices for healthy futuresMilk and milk products have been an integral part of dietary recommendations around the world for many years, reflecting the nutritional and health benefit of dairy and supported by robust science. However today, dairy’s place is under pressure. Plant-based beverages is a fast-growing segment in newer food product development category of functional and specialty beverages across the globe. Milk and plant-based beverages are both valid dietary choices; however non-dairy beverages vary in their nutritional profiles and therefore cannot be considered as an equal alternative in terms of nutrition. By substituting another beverage for milk and eliminating other dairy products from diets, segments of the population are potentially missing out on calcium and other nutrients essential for health. IDF recognised a need to protect the consumer’s ability to make balanced and informed choices for healthy futures by clarifying the distinction between the two separate categories, and has developed a communication framework supported by scientific data.

Responding to changes to dietary guidelinesEnsuring that milk and milk products continue to feature in dietary guidelines worldwide is of key importance. Through various multi-disciplinary work streams IDF has been collecting data, sharing knowledge and developing advocacy tools for members to engage on this front. Work has included the development of an overview of recommendations currently in place in over 80 countries, disseminating information on developments around specific national dietary guidelines of importance, developing a framework to calculate the impact of reductions of dairy recommendations, and reviewing the latest scientific data on milk and milk products. While there will be a need to continuously monitor developments around the many different dietary guidelines worldwide, the framework on impact, including the communications elements, is expected to be finalised by the end of 2019.

Representing the global sector on high profile issuesIDF is passionate about ensuring that the health impact of dairy foods as a whole food and not just individual nutrients is understood by key opinion formers and policy makers. Much of what is generally known about healthy eating is based on studies of the health effects of single nutrients e.g. protein, fat, vitamins, minerals. However, a wide body of research has shown that the relationship between nutrition and health is far more complicated than that. The nature of dairy food structure and the nutrients therein (i.e. the dairy matrix) determines nutrient digestion and absorption, thereby altering the overall nutritional properties of the food. It is therefore vital that the dairy matrix is considered when evaluating nutritional properties and possible health effects. IDF will continue to work with members to raise awareness of this important information and to represent the global dairy sector at high profile nutrition debates, including the UN, to ensure the key facts are heard by policy makers and opinion formers.

Looking aheadIDF engagement in the Committee on Food Security (CFS)Current CFS work focuses on the development of the voluntary guidelines on food systems, and nutrition is at the nexus of all the policies, guidelines, standards prepared and implemented by the UN agencies with a mandate in nutrition (FAO, WHO, IFAD, UNICEF and WFP) with the aim of reshaping food systems. IDF’s focus is to ensure consistency in policies put forward by UN agencies and alignment with the work of standard setting bodies such as Codex, safeguarding the role of dairy in a healthy diet and helping meet SDGs. The upcoming year will be pivotal for the negotiations.

Reviewing the science relating to ultra-processed foods and diet qualityThere is an increasing interest from many stakeholders on the concept of Ultra-processed food (UPF) and the potential health impacts associated with their consumption. IDF has formed a multi-disciplinary team to review the latest research and to provide science-based evidence on the critical role of dairy in the diet and for human health, and the processes applied to dairy products linked to safety and quality.

Contribution of school milk to global child nutritionIn our widest ranging global review to date, IDF has looked at school milk programme implementation, administration, promotion, nutritional importance, competitor promotion, packaging and market in value. A new bulletin will be released in November 2019 and the insights gained from the review will be invaluable both to those who run school milk programmes and to industry.

Work highlight Data comparison: milk and plant-based beveragesA dedicated IDF task force has worked extensively to analyse the available evidence on milk and plant-based beverages, exploring the health implications of a diet that includes milk and dairy compared to a no or low-dairy diet, and checking whether there is evidence to substantiate the claim that there are health benefits of replacing milk with plant-based drinks in terms of nutrient density. In addition to nutritional concerns, the review also explored environmental impact, economic affordability, food safety and animal health and welfare.

More information on the results of the study will shortly be available.

Key findings for nutrition:• Plant-based drinks are not nutritionally equivalent

to milk and therefore cannot be considered as an alternative in terms of nutrition

• The milk matrix provides a naturally nutrient-rich package in comparison to artificially composed formulated drinks

• Studies show milk has many health benefits. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of plant-based drinks per se

• Dairy is a protein-rich food source and helps meet nutrient recommendations

• All plant-based beverages are much more expensive per gram or microgram of protein, calcium, vitamins then standard milk

• There is no association between milk consumption and all-cause mortality

• Consumption of dairy has a neutral or slightly beneficial effect on risk of type 2 diabetes

• A high intake of milk and dairy does not increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.


Safeguarding the integrity and transparency of the dairy supply

Food safety is a global issue that requires worldwide cooperation. IDF works collaboratively to safeguard the integrity and transparency of the dairy supply chain to ensure the safety and quality of milk and dairy products, and to ensure consumers can trust food products that are produced, and play a key role in sharing knowledge and best practice, to create better outcomes. As an organisation, we strive to create a global consensus on risk assessment, as well as promote science-based and informed approaches to food safety and quality issues. IDF advocates a rigorous farm-to-fork food safety and quality approach to ensure that milk and dairy products have been processed, prepared and handled according to the highest possible global food safety and quality standards. We also provide scientific advice on potential risks to food safety along the entire dairy chain, including animal health and welfare; the impact of the food chain on the environment; transportation and storage of food; food production and innovation; and health claims. IDF’s scientific advice is used by decision makers, national authorities, academia, consumer organisations and the public at large.

Working in partnershipEnsuring food safety and quality for

billions of dairy consumers can only be guaranteed through partnership with

other organisations, allowing efficient use of resources, avoiding duplication of effort and sharing the workload among partners. IDF works with key international organizations such as Codex and many others to ensure the safety and quality of dairy products are continually improving. Our work covers microbiological, as well as chemical and physical risks. The evolution of testing and monitoring, alongside IDF research and publications on issues like

IDF/ISO Standard on determination of milkfat purity and IDF guidelines for its applicationIDF together with ISO recently published a revised standard ISO 17678|IDF 202 Milk and Milk Products – Determination of the milkfat purity by gas chromatography. The revision encompasses a revised scope of products that can be tested with the method.

IDF has also developed a Bulletin that provides guidance on the practical application of the International Standard. The dairy sector is often required to prove the authenticity of its product against potential adulteration with vegetable oils or other animal fats. The method described is designed to accommodate regional, seasonal and feed variations in authentic milkfat composition. By providing the background and guidance to the method and interpretation of the results the standard might be understood and used by a wider audience. It is hoped that this is of assistance to those who desire to set up the method and to those who need an understanding of the interpretation of the results which the method produces.

Looking aheadMicrobial food preservation to keep food fresh and safe: bioprotectionFermented food products have a longer shelf life and are less prone to spoilage than non-fermented food products of the same matrix. Advancement in the understanding of food microbiology and ability to screen for microbial food cultures with better ability to stabilize food provide microbial food cultures with bioprotective effect. The use of food cultures with the right bioprotective properties for a given application can inhibit the spoilage microflora and improve the food safety. IDF is currently working on a review to clarify the link between fermentation and bioprotection through the action of microbial food cultures to address eventual concern regarding the safe use of microorganisms in fermented foods. A factsheet is available as a first step, and a more detailed publication is currently in preparation.

residues and contaminants, pathogens and spoilage organisms, antimicrobial resistance, the impact of zoonoses, pasteurisation and new classes of hazard control measures, effectively safeguard and build on the integrity of dairy globally.

Advancing knowledge on pasteurisationWhile pasteurisation has long been shown to prevent disease, certain reports have claimed that the process destroys important nutrients. Identifying a gap in scientific information available on this subject, IDF developed an overview of some key technological, microbiological and nutritional aspects of milk pasteurisation, reaffirming that the process does not significantly impact the nutritional properties of milk. It is an important review that furthers our knowledge of food safety and quality, and which is valuable not only to the dairy sector but also to other food sectors.

Providing a better understanding and preventive measure to limit listeria contaminationIDF has completed a review on the ecology of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes and its significance in dairy production that aims to summarise the different relevant actions in the food production process to be implemented to minimize the likelihood of unsafe final dairy product production in terms of L. monocytogenes (bulletin in press). IDF is also participating in the Codex revision of the General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969) and its HACCP annex, Codex Committee on Food Hygiene. This document is currently recognised as providing common ground for the control of food safety worldwide and requires regular updates to ensure it reflects current approaches to food safety control and scientific knowledge.

Guidelines on process environment monitoringThis project aims to provide the dairy sector with harmonised and recognised guidelines to ensure the correct monitoring of microbial contamination in the processing environment. The aim is to pro-actively anticipate the risk of contamination of finished products when intermediary products are exposed to the air and possible contaminants, to ensure good control of the food production and avoid (re)-contamination.

Knowledge platform on contaminantsWhen implemented, it is anticipated that this platform will provide key stakeholders along the production chain with appropriate guidance on the proactive management of chemical contaminants. More specifically, it will increase awareness within the sector of non-intentionally added residues and provide user-friendly information about the potential contamination sources, as well as tools and tips for root-cause analysis and proactive mitigation.


PublicationsBulletinsBulletin of the IDF N° 501/2019: World Dairy Situation 2019The 200-page flagship publication of the International Dairy Federation provides an overview of the dairy sector in over 50 countries around the world.

Bulletin of the IDF N° 498/2019: The IDF Guide to Good Animal Welfare in Dairy Production 2.0 The updated IDF Guide on Animal Welfare aims to promote the implementation of good animal welfare practices in dairy production at global scale and refers to key standards (OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code, and ISO Technical Specification 34700:2016). It provides recommendations on stockmanship, feed and water, physical environment, husbandry practices and health management.

Bulletin of the IDF N° 497/2019: Applications of Near Infrared Spectrometry for the Analysis of Milk and Milk products Milk and milk products are a widely consumed and traded food. As with all foods there is a high demand for quality control and this is frequently carried out by rapid and reliable compositional analysis using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which has been routinely applied for quality assessment in the dairy industry for over thirty years. This bulletin is a compilation of so far unpublished calibration statistics as a reference for the updated guideline.

The method utilizes the differences in triglyceride fingerprint of milk fat from the individual triglyceride fingerprints of the other fats and oils to determine samples which are outside the range normally observed for milk fat.
