| NICK HADDOW has scored one for the raw milk cheese controversy. The Tasmanian cheesemaker and television star has legally produced an Australian raw milk-based cheese.
Using food standards guidelines, Mr Haddow has been trying to get his raw milk C2 cheese legalised since 2005. He has invested $80,000 and worked with the Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services to ensure his finished product would be accepted by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
In Australia, all milk must be pasteurised or subjected to a process that kills bacteria. NSW allows the sale of raw goats' milk for human consumption.
Eventually Mr Haddow, who appears on SBS TV's Gourmet Farmer, was told he would be allowed to make a raw milk cooked curd cheese because it satisfied a piece of legislation in the Food Standards Code.
