Correct Answer - Option 4 : Standards of Grade

The correct answer is: 'D'.

Government authorities have established several voluntary and mandatory standards for the composition, quality, inspection, and labelling of various food products.

Voluntary Standards:

Standards of grade:

  • Meat, dairy products, and eggs are classified according to their quality, ranging from standard to excellent.
  • Meats can be classified as prime, choice, select, standard etc., depending on their origin, tenderness, juiciness, flavour, and appearance.
  • These descriptors have clear definitions that products must conform to receive the correct label.
  • Although it is voluntary to specify the grade of a food product on the label, many food manufacturers do so since superior grade items can be offered for a greater price
  • Food manufacturers send their products to government laboratories to be examined and certified. This service is requested and paid for by the food producer.

 Thus, the correct answer is: "Standards of Grade".

 Mandatory Standards:

  • Standards of Identity: These regulations govern the types and amounts of ingredients that must be included in certain foods for them to be labelled with a specific name. For example, peanut butter must include less than 55 per cent fat, ice cream must contain more than 10 per cent milk fat, and cheddar cheese must contain more than 50 per cent milkfat and less than 39 per cent moisture.
  • Standards of Quality: For specific goods (e.g., canned fruits and vegetables), quality standards have been established to provide minimum requirements for colour, tenderness, mass, and freedom from defects.
  • Standards of Fill-of-Container: These guidelines outline how full a container must be to minimize consumer deception and specify how the degree of fill is measured.
