Milk packaged for sale as milk, homogenized milk, vitamin D milk, vitamin-mineral fortified milk and flavored milk may be standardized. Milk packaged for sale shall be deemed to mean pasteurized milk in all types and sizes of containers up to and including 40-quart cans.

Standardization may be accomplished by the removal of cream or skimmed milk or by the addition of cream or skimmed milk.

Cream or skimmed milk used for standardization shall be fresh and shall be from fresh milk. If the cream and/or skimmed milk used for standardizing is obtained from a plant or plants other than that at which the standardization is performed, such cream and/or skimmed milk shall be obtained from a plant or plants having the same health approval as is applicable in the area in which the standardized milk is to be sold.

Milk shall be pasteurized after standardization.

Standardization shall be accomplished only at plants where both the processing and packaging is performed, and which plants are operated by duly licensed milk dealers and for which plants, written approval has been given by the commissioner pursuant to section 35.3(a) of this Part.
