Adulteration of milk with water is not only illegal but also very costly for the dairy industry. This guideline describes proper production and sampling techniques, on the farm, in the tank truck and at the plant, to prevent the addition of water to milk as well as correct laboratory testing procedures to aid in its accurate detection.

All DPC Guidelines go through an extensive peer review process. More information is available here.
