Harmonised quality criteria and testing methods are used to screen all milk production in France.
Through systematic screening, all milk collected from French farms is free from antibiotic residues – a major objective for the dairy sector.
Going beyond the mandatory food safety requirements, dairy farms implement optional quality assurance and certification initiatives.
Preventive actions are undertaken for reduced and responsible antibiotic use:
Through the Terre France de Lait initiative, the dairy sector is committed to further strengthening the prevention of health risks by optimising surveillance, control and investigation methods.
This is upheld through an industry-wide, collective approach, with a number of actions in place to boost the safety of dairy products:
| Commitments | Our 2025 Objectives |
