European Economic Community and United Kingdom regulations relating to the composition of liquid milk are reviewed, and sales of the various categories of drinking milk in Member States of the EEC and in the United States are discussed in relation to total sales. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of standardized liquid milk from the consumer, producer, processor, and UK national interest point of view are highlighted. An opinion is expressed that there will be an increase in sales of low‐fat varieties of milk in the UK in the next decade. We question whether current regulations are too restrictive.
