§ 35161 Milk Fat Tester Licensing

• •You need a special license to test milk or cream if you're checking how much fat is in it.
• •This rule applies if you're buying, selling, or receiving milk based on its fat content.
• •The license is required for testing any liquid made from milk or cream.

A farmer sells milk to a dairy company, and the price depends on how much fat is in the milk.

The person who tests the milk to check the fat level must have a tester’s license. Without it, they can’t legally do the test.
