Setting the Standard
ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More is committed to the development of dairy ingredient standards and specifications. An important part of the ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More mission is the development of industry standards for dairy ingredients that serve to build customer and consumer confidence and trust in U.S.-produced products. We are proud to provide the dairy industry with the collection of product standards listed below.
ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More urges the industry to use these product standards as a guide in the manufacturing, marketing, and purchasing of dairy products for use as functional and nutritional ingredients.
All content is copyright produced by ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More with the intent of providing ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More members critical information to support production of dairy ingredients and products.
ADPI Dairy Product Standards
ADPI dairy ingredient standards are designed as industry standards for U.S. produced dairy ingredients, and are therefore neither binding nor enforceable. The standards have been developed with a sufficiently broad framework to allow for individual brand identity and innovation within the standard. All ADPIAmerican Dairy Products Institute More standards are viewable online via the links below and include:
- product definitions;
- compositional analysis;
- common methods of sampling and analysis.

Reference Standards for the Industry
Certified Reference Standard Materials

More nitrogen (WPN) by the modified Harland-Ashworth Method. In addition, the certified reference standards will also now include certified values for protein content and for total moisture. This expanded list of analytical parameters is automatically included on the Eurofins Certificate of Analysis (COAA certificate of analysis is an official document provided by a manufacturer, supplier or laboratory that provides detailed information about the quality, composition and/or specifications of a product or material. More) for every set of standards.
