Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 4 :: Hadith 210

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (Radi ALLAHU Anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu Alahe Wasalam) drank milk, rinsed his mouth and said, "It has fat."

Methods of detecting fat content

Milk's fat content can be determined by experimental means, such as the Babcock test or Gerber Method. Before the Babcock test was created, dishonest milk dealers could adulterate milk to falsely indicate a higher fat content. In 1911, the American Dairy Science Association's Committee on Official Methods of Testing Milk and Cream for Butterfat met in Washington DC with the U.S. Bureau of Dairying, the U.S. Bureau of Standards and manufacturers of glassware.^[4] Standard specifications for the Babcock methodology and equipment were published as a result of this meeting.^[5] Improvements to the Babcock test have continued.^[6]^[7]

United Kingdom

Three main varieties of milk by fat content are sold in the UK, skimmed, semi-skimmed and whole milk. Semi-skimmed is by far the most popular variety, accounting for 63% of all milk sales. Whole milk follows with 27% and then skimmed with 6%.^[9] Until 1 January 2008, milk with butterfat content outside the ranges defined by the European Commission could not legally be sold as milk. This included 1% milk, meaning The One, a 1% variety launched by Robert Wiseman Dairies, could not be labelled as milk. Lobbying by Britain has allowed these other percentages to be sold as milk.^[10] Since the change in regulation, Sainsbury's has launched a 1% variety with an orange milk bottle top.^[11]

It was quite impossible to have any information about the Milk has fat 1500 years back. This information, is availabel in Hadiath (saying and acts of Prophet Muhammad (May Peace, Mercy & Blessing of ALLAH be upon him) which we have today by unbroken chain of narration, but discovered only recently, is yet another proof.
