Thai FDA consults on flavored-milk naming until 6 November

What the notice says

The Thai FDA Food Division (กองอาหาร) posted a consultation on 5 October 2026 (5 ตุลาคม 2569) concerning a third amendment to the flavored-milk notification. It proposes reconsidering product names so they reflect the ingredients used and give consumers information through labels.

Industry and relevant organizations can comment through the channels in the notice until 6 November 2026 (6 พฤศจิกายน 2569). Objections should include reasons and supporting evidence or technical documents. The deadline is for comments, not the commencement of a new labelling rule. The announcement concerns amendment principles; it does not settle final names or a packaging-change date.

Business implications

Manufacturers and Thai importers can compare ingredient records with current Thai product names. A later naming amendment could affect packaging and product descriptions used by importers.

For a technical response, identify mismatches between a product's formulation, current label and the proposal. Products sold under one brand may need separate comparisons where their ingredients differ. Preparing evidence now supports participation in the consultation. Packaging-change schedules should follow the scope and commencement provisions of the eventual notification.
