About This Test

Fortified Buffalo Milk is standardized buffalo milk that has been enriched with essential micronutrients, primarily Vitamin A and Vitamin D, as per the guidelines of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This fortification is designed to address widespread deficiencies in the Indian population and improve public health outcomes.

According to FSSAI regulations:

Buffalo milk must meet the minimum compositional requirements for fat and solids-not-fat (SNF) content as prescribed under FSSAI standards.
Fortification must ensure:
- Vitamin A: 270 µg to 450 µg RE (Retinol Equivalent) per liter
- Vitamin D: 5 µg to 7.5 µg per liter

These additions are done using approved, stable, and bioavailable forms of the vitamins, ensuring they remain effective through typical processing and storage conditions.

Purpose of Fortification:

Combat nutritional deficiencies
Improve immunity and bone health
Enhance vision and overall well-being

Fortified buffalo milk must also carry the +F logo on its packaging, indicating it meets FSSAI's fortification standards.

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

Verification of Nutrient FortificationTo confirm that Vitamin A (270–450 µg RE/L) and Vitamin D (5–7.5 µg/L) are present within the permissible limits as per FSSAI norms.

Quality AssuranceTo ensure that the milk meets the required compositional parameters for fat, SNF (solids-not-fat), and overall purity typical of standard buffalo milk.

Safety and Contaminant ChecksTo screen for microbial contamination (e.g., coliforms, Salmonella), antibiotic residues, heavy metals, and other harmful substances.

Stability and Homogeneity of NutrientsTo assess the uniform distribution and stability of added vitamins during processing, storage, and distribution.

Packaging and Labeling ComplianceTo ensure proper declaration of fortified status (e.g., display of "+F" logo), batch coding, and adherence to FSSAI labeling requirements.

Consumer Health ProtectionTo guarantee the nutritional value and safety of the milk reaching consumers, particularly in programs targeting malnutrition and public health.
