NY Agric & Mkts L § 51 (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 4 - Dairy Products. 51 - Milk Inspection.

§ 51. Milk  inspection.   The commissioner or his agent, in inspecting   milk for the purpose of analysis to determine the percentage of  fat  or   other  milk  solids, shall take duplicate samples thereof and shall seal   both samples, and shall tender, and, if accepted, deliver one sample  to   the person from whom the milk was taken. When samples are taken from the   producer  of  the  milk  sampled or his agent, at a place other than the   dairy where the milk was produced, the commissioner or his  agent  shall   within  ten  days  thereafter,  with  the  consent of the producer, take   duplicate samples of the mixed milk of the herd of cows from  which  the   milk  first  sampled was drawn, and shall deliver one such sample to the   producer or his agent and shall submit the other to  analysis.  If  upon   analysis it proves to contain no higher percentage of milk solids, or no   higher  percentage of fat, or has no lower freezing temperature than the   sample first taken, then no action shall lie against  the  producer  for   violation  of  standards  as established by the commissioner pursuant to   the provisions of section forty-six-a. If the producer refuses to  allow   such  herd sample to be taken, then the producer shall be precluded from   offering any evidence that the milk from  which  the  first  sample  was   taken  was just as it came from the cow. Where a sample of milk taken by   the commissioner or his agent consists  of  the  entire  contents  of  a   container  unopened at the time of taking, no duplicate need be taken or   tendered or delivered.
NY Agric & Mkts L § 52 (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 4 - Dairy Products. 52 - Presumptions in Regard to Cream and Skim Milk.

§ 52. Presumptions  in  regard  to cream and skim milk.  When cream is   separated or skimmed from milk at any  station  or  establishment  where   milk  is  received from producers for the purpose of selling the same or   shipping the same to market for consumption as food and  the  supply  of   milk  on  hand thereat at the time of the next regular daily shipment of   milk therefrom, consisting of the total amount of milk in such shipment,   together with that remaining on hand immediately after such shipment, is   not thereby decreased or correspondingly less than  the  total  quantity   received during any period extending from some point of time before such   skimming  was  done  until  the time of such shipment, together with the   amount of milk on hand at the commencement  of  such  period,  and  such   decrease  is  not equal in amount to the quantity of milk that must have   been used in so separating  such  cream  in  addition  to  the  quantity   otherwise  there  used  or  disposed of during such period, such fact is   conclusive that skim milk or other foreign substance was added  to  such   milk  supply within such period and shall be presumptive evidence within   the meaning of this section that the same  was  added  to  each  can  or   vessel  of  milk  in  such shipment. When cream or skim milk is found to   have been on the premises of any such station  or  establishment  or  is   sold  or  shipped therefrom, such cream or skim milk so found or so sold   or shipped  therefrom  shall  be  presumed  to  have  been  produced  by   separating  or  skimming at such station or establishment. In any action   or proceeding relative to the adulteration of  milk  by  removing  cream   therefrom  or  adding  skim  milk or other foreign substance thereto, it   shall be presumed that when cream has been produced by  so  skimming  or   separating or butter has been manufactured, there was made at least five   quarts  of milk in the production of each quart of cream so produced and   there was necessarily so produced thereby at least four quarts  of  skim   milk  to  each  quart  of  cream so produced, and that there was used at   least nine quarts of milk in the production of each pound of  butter  so   manufactured.

§ 56. Determination of the content of milk and/or cream where purchase   or  settlement  therefor  is  made on the basis of such content.  1. The   commissioner shall,  after  public  hearing,  prescribe,  by  rules  and   regulations,  the  methods,  equipment,  and  procedures,  including the   calibration and use of electronic equipment,  which  shall  be  used  in   determining  the percentage of the components of milk and/or cream where   the result of such determination is to be used wholly, or in part, as  a   basis for payment or settlement for such milk and/or cream, or where the   proceeds   of   co-operative   creameries   or  such  milk-receiving  or   manufacturing plants are allotted on the basis of the determination of a   component or components of milk, or where the result  of  such  test  is   used for the purpose of official inspection or for public record.2.  Whenever the amount of a milk component or components contained in   milk and/or cream is used wholly or in part as a basis  for  payment  or   settlement  for  such  milk and/or cream, or whenever such component, or   components, of milk and/or cream are made a matter of public  record  or   official  inspection,  no  person  or  persons  shall report or record a   greater  or  lesser  percentage  or  average  percentage  of  such  milk   component  than  is  actually  contained  in such milk and/or cream. The   commissioner or persons employed by him for that purpose may at any time   inspect the equipment and assist in making tests of  milk  and/or  cream   received  at any milk-receiving or manufacturing plant or other place of   testing for the purpose of determining the accuracy of tests so made.3. Any person or persons using other than the  method,  equipment  and   procedures  prescribed  by the commissioner pursuant to this section, or   crediting any patron delivering milk and/or  cream  with  a  greater  or   lesser  percentage  or  average  percentage  of a milk component than is   actually contained in  such  milk  and/or  cream  so  delivered  and  as   determined  by such prescribed method or methods shall be deemed to have   violated the provisions of this chapter.4. For the purposes of this article, components of milk or cream shall   include non-fat solids, milk fat,  protein,  lactose  and  total  solids   contained in milk or cream.

§ 56-b. Determination  of bacteria in milk and/or cream where purchase   or settlement is made therefor on  the  basis  of  bacterial  count.  In   milk-receiving  or  manufacturing  plants and other places using methods   approved by the commissioner for determining the bacterial count in milk   and/or cream, where the result of  such  determination  is  to  be  used   wholly  or in part as a basis for payment or settlement for such milk or   cream,  or  where  the  proceeds  of  co-operative  creameries  or  such   milk-receiving  or manufacturing plants are allotted on the basis of the   bacterial  count,  no  pipette  or  syringe  shall  be  used   in   such   determination unless the same has been legibly and indelibly marked with   the  letters  "N.  Y."  by  the  commissioner  or by his duly authorized   representative. No such pipette or syringe shall be so marked unless  it   has been found upon examination to be so constructed and graduated as to   deliver  accurately the amount of liquid required for the determination.   The provisions of this article, however, shall not preclude the use of a   pipette already marked "S. B." or "N. Y.", by the director  of  the  New   York state agricultural experiment station.Whenever  the bacterial count of such milk and/or cream is used wholly   or in part as a basis for payment or settlement  for  such  milk  and/or   cream, or whenever the bacterial count affects the classification of the   milk  and/or  cream  as received from the producer, or the acceptance or   rejection of such milk and/or cream by the operator of a  milk-receiving   or  manufacturing  plant,  no person or persons shall report or record a   larger or smaller bacterial count  than  that  obtained  by  the  actual   examination  of  the milk and/or cream so delivered by the producer. The   commissioner or persons employed by him for that purpose may at any time   inspect the equipment and assist in  making  bacterial  counts  of  milk   and/or  cream  received  at any milk-receiving or manufacturing plant or   other place where counts are made for the  purpose  of  determining  the   accuracy of the counts so made.Any person or persons using other than the properly marked pipettes or   syringes  or  crediting  any  patron delivering milk and/or cream with a   larger or smaller bacterial count than that obtained by the actual count   of the bacteria in the milk and/or cream so delivered and as  determined   by the method or methods approved by the commissioner shall be deemed to   have violated the provisions of the agriculture and markets law.
