What is the average percentage of milk fat lost during the processing of raw milk?

Question

In California, Milk processing facility is required to file a monthly report with CA Dept. of Food and Agriculture named "Handler's Monthly Report". Each processor reports milk fat received and lost during processing. I am looking for an average (percentage)of milk fat lost during the processing of milk in CA or US.

Answer 1

I assume because you have come here for answers to such a specific question, the CA Dept of Food and agri refused to allow you access to the HMR. This may be due to corporate legislation allowing both companies and government to restrict the freedom of information act when it concerns matters of national security. Id like to know how milk fat losses affect national security, but I'm not going to split hairs over it. Fact is that older statistics are probably not restricted, so your local public library may be a good place to start looking for historical records of milk processing statistics and procedures. Good luck!
