Organic Valley, La Farge, Wis., introduced Ultra, the first organic ultrafiltered milk available nationally. According to the cooperative, the milk has 50% more protein and 50% less sugar than regular milk.

The dairy industry received good news on the regulatory front in August. The Food and Drug Administration granted enforcement discretion for the use and labeling of ultrafiltered (UF) milk in all standardized cheeses and related cheese products covered by the federal standards of identity.
