Grade A standards are recommended by the (NCIMS), which is composed of voting representatives from state and local regulatory agencies, and nonvoting representatives of the dairy industry and FDA.^[1] As a general rule, FDA accepts the Conference recommendations and incorporates them into the revised PMO.
