A2 Farmer Lab Report: Ghee Purity, A2 & Nutrition Test Results
A2 Farmer Buffalo Bilona Ghee was tested at a NABL-accredited laboratory (Equinox Labs): 99.76 g milk fat per 100 g, 0.24% moisture, a negative Baudouin test (no vanaspati), less than 0.1 g trans fat, and A2A2 genotype confirmed by TaqMan PCR. Every batch goes through 70+ checks before it is packed in glass.
Quick take
- Milk fat 99.76% — above the FSSAI minimum of 99.5%.
- Baudouin test negative — no vanaspati or foreign fat.
- A2A2 confirmed by TaqMan PCR genotype testing.
- Trans fat < 0.1 g/100 g; 12-month shelf life in an accelerated study.
Anyone can print “100% pure” on a label. At A2 Farmer we would rather show you the numbers. This page lists the results from our reference lab report on A2 Farmer Buffalo Bilona Ghee, what each test means, and how they compare with the legal standard for ghee in India.
Purity results vs the FSSAI standard
| Parameter | A2 Farmer result | FSSAI standard for ghee |
|---|---|---|
| Milk fat | 99.76 g / 100 g | ≥ 99.5% |
| Moisture | 0.24% | ≤ 0.5% |
| Baudouin test (vanaspati / sesame oil) | Negative | Must be negative |
| A2 genotype of the herd's milk (TaqMan PCR) | A2A2 confirmed | — (not an FSSAI requirement) |
| Trans fat | < 0.1 g / 100 g | — |
Standards per the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Testing by Equinox Labs, a NABL-accredited laboratory.
What each test tells you
- Milk fat: ghee should be almost pure butterfat. 99.76% means almost nothing else is in the jar.
- Moisture: low moisture is why good ghee keeps for months. Ours is 0.24%, under half the legal limit.
- Baudouin test: the standard check for vanaspati (dalda) and sesame-oil adulteration, the most common ghee fraud — see dalda vs ghee.
- A2 genotype: confirms the milk comes from animals carrying only the A2 beta-casein gene — what A2 ghee means.
- Trans fat: real ghee has almost none; high trans fat points to hydrogenated oil (WHO on trans fat).

Shelf life
An accelerated shelf-life study supports a 12-month shelf life from manufacture, sealed in glass and stored dry, away from sunlight. No refrigeration is needed — how to store ghee.
