What gets tested before the milk leaves the farm

Every batch is checked at a NABL-accredited laboratory before it's bottled. Here's what the test looks for, and why we publish the result.

NABL — the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories — is the gold standard for lab credibility in India. A NABL stamp means the lab itself has been audited, the methods are peer-reviewed, and the results are admissible as evidence.

What every batch is tested for

  • Fat and SNF (solid-not-fat) content — confirms the milk is undiluted
  • Protein and calcium — confirms the herd's nutrition is right
  • Adulteration screen — checks for urea, starch, detergents, formalin
  • Antibiotic residue — ensures recently treated animals are off the line
  • Microbial load — bacterial count must be below the FSSAI threshold
We don't test to pass. We test to know — and we share the result whether you ask for it or not.

Our most recent buffalo milk analysis returned 4.3g protein, 7.2g fat, 9.5g SNF per 100ml. Zero adulterants. Zero antibiotic residue. We'll send you the full PDF on WhatsApp if you'd like — just ask.
