Summary of Proposal:
The Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission (Commission) has the authority under the Milk Act to make regulations prescribing the types and sizes of containers that shall be used for fluid milk products.

Section 8 of Regulation 753 (Grades, Standards, Designations, Classes, Packing and Marking) under the Milk Act stipulates the sizes of containers that must be used for fluid milk products for retail sale to consumers.
