On August 15, 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a proposal to require factories to maintain and produce records of milk fat test grading labels, with a comment deadline of October 16, 2023.

The proposal would allow milk fat testing to be done in-house or by approved third-party LABS, and would require factories to maintain and make records available for inspection by USDA inspectors. The proposal would apply current industry practices to improve the efficiency of work such as testing.
