So the 2% actually has a touch too much cream and it should be labeled whole or half and half? That this is some equipment malfunction? I've had dairy products with slime in it, it was revolting.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 33111631 United States 06/18/2017 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dairy 101: The Canada-U.S. milk spat explained Diafiltered milk, or ultrafiltered milk as the Americans call it, is milk that has been finely filtered through a membrane in order to target its protein content. It has a similar consistency to coconut milk and typically has a very high protein content (greater than 40 per cent). When raw milk is processed for butterfat (necessary for making butter) it is separated into two parts: butterfat and whats called non-fat solids, commonly referred to as milk ingredients. Diafiltered milk is non-fat solids that have been processed one step further. An American invention, diafiltered milk is used primarily by dairy processors in Canada to make cheese because it produces higher yields while making less waste (in this case skim milk). Skim milk, due to oversupply, is often dumped or used on farms as animal feed or dried down to powder form. Its oversupply has been a longstanding issue that the dairy industry has been grappling with for years. Major diafiltered milk production plants have been built in recent years along the Canada-U.S. border in states like New York and Wisconsin to service Canadian demand. Because of an ongoing oversupply of milk and its ingredients within the United States, the American dairy industry has been exporting the product in liquid form to Canadian processors. The Canadian Border Services Agency considers it to be a protein ingredient and therefore it is not subject to Canadas high dairy tariffs. Further, because the product was invented post-NAFTA, Canadian officials have been told that they are not allowed to subject American diafiltered milk imports to whats known as a tariff rate quota (TRQ) that cap the amount of product allowed in. Thats meant the American dairy industry has had complete and unfettered access to the Canadian market place for diafiltered milk for several years. (Diafiltered milk is not used by American dairy processors.) Canadian dairy farmers have repeatedly demanded Ottawa crack down on these imports by enforcing Canadian cheese standards that require cheese be made with a certain amount of milk. Farmers, particularly those in Quebec, have argued the American product is displacing Canadian milk sales and are putting their operations at risk. Discussions on the matter are ongoing, however, no changes to the import rules around the product have been made as of yet. At the moment, Canadian processors are not equipped to make diafiltered milk although iPolitics has been told some companies are in the process of making investments to do so.
