What is standardised milk?
Standardised milk is milk adjusted to a set fat and solids-not-fat (SNF) level. In India, FSSAI says the legal standard is 4.5% fat and 8.5% SNF, with total solids of 13%. We did not list brands because no official source ranks or lists them.

What is standardised milk?
The Indian food regulator FSSAI says the Food Safety and Standards (Food Product Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 prescribe fat and solids-not-fat (SNF) for different types of milk. Its example is standardized milk. The legal standard for it is 4.5% fat and 8.5% SNF, and the total solids are 13%.
What are SNF and total solids?
FSSAI describes SNF as the part of milk that is neither milk fat nor water. It consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose) and minerals, including calcium and phosphorus. When SNF is combined with milk fat, it is called total solids.
| Part | Standardized milk (FSSAI) |
|---|---|
| Fat | 4.5% |
| SNF | 8.5% |
| Total solids | 13% |
What are the brands of standardised milk?
We did not list brands. The FSSAI page we opened names none, and a brand list from us would have to rest on unsourced claims about each product. To see what a product is, read the label on the pack: it shows the type of milk and its fat and SNF content.
Are there other milk types with different numbers?
Yes. FSSAI says the 2011 regulations set different fat and SNF values for different types of milk. The page we opened gives figures only for standardized milk, so we do not state values for the others. These rules apply in India; other countries use their own definitions.
