Show Hint

FSSAI Sweetened Condensed Milk (SCM) Standards:
Full Cream SCM $\rightarrow$ Min $\mathbf{31.0\%}$ Total Milk Solids, Min $\mathbf{9.0\%}$ Milk Fat.
Evaporated Full Cream Milk $\rightarrow$ Min $26.0\%$ Milk Solids, Min $8.0\%$ Fat.
  • 21% milk solids
  • 25% milk solids

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Food Safety and Standards Regulations standards for condensed milks: FSSAI (FSSR 2011) mandates that Sweetened Condensed Milk (Full Cream) shall contain not less than 9.0% milk fat and not less than 31.0% total milk solids (minimum 22.0% milk solids-not-fat).
Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \text{FSSAI Standards for Full Cream SCM: } \text{Milk Fat} \ge \mathbf{9.0\% \text{ (m/m)}} \quad \& \quad \mathbf{\text{Total Milk Solids}} \ge \mathbf{31.0\% \text{ (m/m)}} \]

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Under the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 (Section 2.1.13 for Condensed Milk Products):
- For Sweetened Condensed Milk (Full Cream Whole Milk):
1. Total Milk Solids Content: Shall be NOT less than 31.0% (m/m) (D).
2. Milk Fat Content: Shall be NOT less than 9.0% (m/m).
3. Milk Solids-Not-Fat (MSNF): Calculated as $31.0 - 9.0 = 22.0\%$ minimum.
4. Cane Sugar (Sucrose): Not less than $40.0\%$.
5. (Compare with Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk: min $26.0\%$ total milk solids, max $1.0\%$ fat).

Step 3: Final Answer:

Therefore, full cream sweetened condensed milk should contain not less than 31% milk solids, corresponding to option (D).
