The FSSAI has decided to include Ultra Pasteurisation in the general standards for milk and milk products through Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Amendment Regulations.
The draft in this regard was released for the public comments, which says that Ultra Pasteurisation when used in association with milk, shall be taken to refer to the typical processing of heating milk to 125°C- 128°C for minimum 2 seconds in continuous flow and packaged under aseptic conditions to ensure preservation at room temperature for period of not less than 7 days from date of manufacture.
Also, Ultra Pasteurisation of milk shall give negative Lactoperoxidase test and the pH of Ultra Pasteurised milk should not drop by more than 0.3 units at the end of 7 days of incubation at 55°C.
Further for regulations relating to Standard for Flavoured Milk, FSSAI added 'other non-dairy ingredients like nuts (whole, fragmented or ground), cocoa solids, chocolate, coffee and tea or their extracts, fruits and vegetables and products thereof including juices, purees, pulps, preparations and preserves derived there from and extracts thereof, cereals, and cereal products and cereal based extracts, honey, spices and its extracts, condiments, herbs and their extracts, salt, and other natural flavouring foods and flavours'.
