QUESTION

According to norms of Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) 1976, cow milk should contain not less than?

OPTIONS

(A) 8.5% SNF and 3.5% milk fat
(B) 6.5% SNF and 2.5% milk fat
(C) 7.5% SNF and 3.0% milk fat
(D) 9.5% SNF and 2.0% milk fat

ANSWER

(A) 8.5% SNF and 3.5% milk fat

EXPLANATION

Under the cited PFA standard, cow milk is required to contain at least 3.5% milk fat and 8.5% solids-not-fat (SNF). The other combinations give lower SNF, lower fat, or an incorrect balance of these constituents. Hence, option (A) states the prescribed minimum composition.
