Standards
Dairy Ingredient Standards
All ADPI Dairy Ingredient Standards are available in the Ingredient Resource Center. All 30+ standards are featured online and with a downloadable PDF that features:
- product definitions;
- compositional analysis;
- common methods of sampling and analysis;
These ADPI 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.
Members can also access additional resources on the Dairy Ingredients Resources page (must be logged-in).
Certified Reference Standard Nonfat Dry Milk
One Low- and one High-Heat Nonfat Dry Milk sample (250 grams each) are only used for the purposes of plotting standard curves (usually 12 curves in one set) in determining the undenatured whey protein 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 (COA) for every set of standards.
ADPI is now partnering with Eurofins to provide the industry with standard reference NFDM samples. Orders can be placed through ADPI, with Eurofins fulfilling the order. Prices are as follows:
$80 for US orders
$205 for International orders
All costs include shipping and administrative costs.
$225 for US orders
$350 for International orders
All costs include shipping and administrative costs.

Reports
Dairy Products Utilization & Production Trends
ADPI is the only organization that provides this unique compilation of industry-wide data on the utilization of ingredients and production trends in the U.S. on dairy ingredients. Each year, ADPI collects market data from its members and other dairy industry participants on ways in which they utilize dairy ingredients. Participants in the survey included ADPI members, other cooperating processors, distributors and resellers.
In addition to the commercial utilization data compiled by ADPI, the publication also contains a wealth of information about dairy ingredients including: production figures, export volumes, and other key industry statistics.
Produced as an annual publication, this resource is available to ADPI members as a member benefit.
Non-members can purchase access to the publication for $250, available in a downloadable, digital format. Click the button below to order.
