History
The Milk Industry Branch was established on April 1, 1973 in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food by the enactment of the Milk Amendment Act (1972). The new legislation divided the Milk Commission of Ontario into 2 branches. The appeal function was retained by the Milk Commission of Ontario and all of the regulative work previously done by the Commission became the responsibility of the newly formed Milk Industry Branch. The new branch became part of the Marketing and Special Services Division. In 1977 the branch became part of the Agricultural Education, Research and Special Services Division. On February 1, 1979 the Milk Industry Branch and the Farm Products Inspection Branch amalgamated to form the Farm Products Quality Branch.
