If confirmed positive, the milk must be discarded and the producer pays for the load of milk.

• A. The milk must be discarded and the producer pays
• B. The milk is discarded and the producer pays nothing
• C. The milk is sold as is
• D. The milk is returned to supplier

Answer: (A)

When a test confirms a positive result for a contaminant or adulterant in milk, the product is unsafe for sale and must be discarded. The producer must cover the disposal costs because the issue originated at the source and it is their responsibility to ensure milk meets safety standards. This arrangement reinforces accountability and prevents unsafe milk from reaching consumers. Other options—discarding without payment, selling the milk as is, or returning it to the supplier—would allow unsafe product to circulate or shift liability away from the producer, which is not consistent with safety and quality practices.
