FSSAI clarifies A1 and A2 milk labelling requirements for dairy products
India
Aug 23, 2024
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a clarification on the sales and marketing of milk and other products such as ghee in the name of 'A1' and 'A2' under its License Number or the registration certificate number.
After examining the matter, FSSAI opined that the 'A1' and 'A2' differentiation of milk is essentially linked to the difference in the structure of the protein (beta-casein).
The standards of milk, specified in the Food Safety and Standards (Food Product Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011, do not mention or recognise any differentiation of milk based on any ‘A1’ and ‘A2’ types.
Hence, FSSAI has instructed all the food business operators in the country to “remove such claims from their products.”
