Sheep Milk Fortified Testing

Fortified Sheep Milk is nutrient-rich sheep milk that has been enhanced with essential micronutrients—Vitamin A and Vitamin D—in accordance with the standards set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This fortification ensures that consumers receive the added health benefits of these vital vitamins, which may otherwise be deficient in the diet.

Naturally, sheep milk is high in protein, calcium, and healthy fats, and is known for its creamy texture and superior nutritional profile compared to cow or goat milk. However, like other types of milk, it may lack sufficient levels of fat-soluble vitamins after processing—hence the need for fortification.

FSSAI Fortification Levels:

• Vitamin A: 270–450 µg RE (Retinol Equivalent) per liter

• Vitamin D: 5–7.5 µg per liter

The vitamins are added using FSSAI-approved, bioavailable, and heat-stable forms, ensuring their effectiveness throughout the product’s shelf life.

Fortified sheep milk is particularly beneficial for:

• Children and elderly individuals

• People with high protein or calcium needs

• Health-conscious consumers looking for a premium dairy option

All fortified sheep milk packaging must display the +F logo, indicating compliance with FSSAI’s food fortification regulations.

With its naturally rich nutrient base and added vitamins, fortified sheep milk offers a powerful combination of taste, nourishment, and health benefits for daily consumption.
