Ghee itself, as a clarified butter, doesn't contain significant amounts of protein, including beta-casein. Therefore, it can't be directly classified as A1 or A2.
The A1/A2 classification is relevant to the milk used to make the ghee. Ghee made from A1 milk would be considered A1 ghee, and similarly, ghee made from A2 milk would be A2 ghee.
However, it's important to note that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has recently declared the labeling of milk and milk products as A1 and A2 as misleading. This is because the distinction between A1 and A2 milk is based solely on the structure of a protein called beta-casein, which may not significantly impact the final ghee product.
