Milk is an important source of\nnutrition, and it is a great source of protein &amp; calcium. Because of the\nadulteration of milk products and false claiming of milk products, the food\nregulating agency has released various categories and standards of FSSAI milk\nproducts in the Indian market. Throughout 2017-18, the per capita milk\navailability in India was 375 gm\/day, but now the reports say that it will\nincrease to 592 gm per day. To support all the dairy products in India, the\nGovernment has adopted numerous standards, categories and has taken several\ninitiatives. India exports its dairy products to other countries like\nSingapore, Nepal, Egypt, etc. In this blog, we discuss the categories and\nstandards of FSSAI milk products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a3a22be1da4a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a3a22be1da4a\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/categories-and-standards-of-fssai-milk-products\/#Different_Standards_and_Categories_of_FSSAI_Milk_Products_in_India\" title=\"Different Standards and Categories of FSSAI Milk Products\nin India\">Different Standards and Categories of FSSAI Milk Products\nin India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/categories-and-standards-of-fssai-milk-products\/#What_are_the_Guidelines_for_FSSAI_Milk_Products_Packaging\" title=\"What are the Guidelines for FSSAI Milk Products Packaging?\">What are the Guidelines for FSSAI Milk Products Packaging?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/categories-and-standards-of-fssai-milk-products\/#Vital_Guidelines_for_Milk_Products_regarding_Packaging_Specifications\" title=\"Vital Guidelines for Milk Products regarding Packaging\nSpecifications\">Vital Guidelines for Milk Products regarding Packaging\nSpecifications<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/categories-and-standards-of-fssai-milk-products\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Standards_and_Categories_of_FSSAI_Milk_Products_in_India\"><\/span>Different Standards and Categories of FSSAI Milk Products\nin India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are some different categories and standards of FSSAI milk products in India:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/infographic-without-heading-3-1.png\" alt=\"Different Standards and Categories of FSSAI Milk Products\" class=\"wp-image-2189\" width=\"346\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/infographic-without-heading-3-1.png 985w, https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/infographic-without-heading-3-1-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/infographic-without-heading-3-1-768x780.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Species Identified Milk:<\/strong> Milk Standards for SNF and fat are different for species of sheep, cow, camel, and buffalo.
