For the purposes of heading 0405 :

Butter does not contain added emulsifiers, but may contain sodium chloride, food colours, neutralising salts and cultures of harmless lacticacid- producing bacteria;
(b) the expression “dairy spreads” means a spreadable emulsion of the water-in-oil type, containing milkfat as the only fat in the product, with a milkfat content of 39% or more but less than 80% by weight.
Products obtained by the concentration of whey and with the addition of milk or milk fat are to be classified as cheese in heading 0406 provided that they have the three following characteristics :
(a) a milkfat content, by weight of the dry matter, of 5 % or more;
(b) a dry matter content, by weight, of at least 70 % but not exceeding 85 %; and
