What RM means and why we do not fake it

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, uses the Reichert–Meissl (RM) value as a standard test for ghee and milk fat. RM reflects natural short-chain fatty acids that come from real dairy fat.

Our position

We never use “RM boosters” or any additive to push RM up. We also never use artificial ghee essence. Attempts to imitate ghee or mix it with non-ghee fats fall under restrictions in the Prohibition and Restriction on Sales regulations. The law bars admixtures of ghee with substitutes and also restricts sale of ghee that does not meet area-wise RM and BR requirements unless sold under specific declarations.

Imitation flavour is off-limits for us

For vegetable fats like vanaspati, the regulation says no colour resembling ghee may be added and any flavour, if used, must be distinct from ghee. We align with that spirit of the law and avoid anything that could mislead the consumer

Enforcement backdrop

FSSAI runs drives against adulterated ghee. Recent seizures show the regulator’s active stance on purity and misbranding
