Summary:Extract: Nationwide adoption of standards similar to the current California standards would raise retail prices for fluid milk products about 3.5 cents per half-gallon (3 percent). The change would generally increase the nutrient content of milk, but would cost an estimated $5.9 million annually to enforce effectively. It could result in somewhat increased sales of butterfat and solids-not-fat in fluid milk products, but the magnitude is unclear. In addition, it likely would result in only a small reduction in Government purchases of surplus dairy products
