| 2. | Without prejudice to point (b)(ii) of paragraph 1, only the following modifications shall be allowed: (a) in order to meet the fat contents laid down for drinking milk, modification of the natural fat content by the removal or addition of cream or the addition of whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk; (b) enrichment of milk with milk proteins, mineral salts or vitamins; (c) reduction of the lactose content by conversion to glucose and galactose. Modifications in the composition of milk referred to in points (b) and (c) shall be allowed only if they are indelibly indicated on the packing of the product so that it can be easily seen and read. However, such indication shall not remove the obligation as regards nutrition labelling laid down by Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labeling for foodstuffs (1). Where proteins are added, the protein content of the enriched milk must be 3,8 % (m/m) or more. However, Member States may limit or prohibit modifications to the composition of milk referred to in points (b) and (c).
