The Dairy Grading Branch offers many services for exporters shipping dairy products to the European Union. In order to obtain an EU Health Certificate, the manufacturers must have their final production, blending, and/or packing facility listed on the FDA Dairy Plant Reference List of EU-approved facilities.
