HARRISBURG - Milk is
often called nature’s most
nearly perfect food, but im
proper handling can
diminish its nutritional value
and flavor
The state departments of
Education and Agriculture
used Pennsylvania Farm
Show Week, to launch an
educational campaign urg
ing schools and the public to
observe several basic rules
when handling milk and milk
products.
In cooperation with the
Pennsylvania Dairymen’s
Association and the
Keystone Milk Marketing,
Inc , the two state agencies
will supply schools
throughout the Com
monwealth with pressure
sensitive vinyl posters which
spell out proper handling of
milk These rules include-
1. Milk should be kept
cool One degree in
temperature affects its
keeping quality For best
protection milk should be
stored at 32-40 degrees
Fahrenheit
2. Milk should be kept
covered. Even milk in
cardboard containers will
develop an off-flavor if
over exposed to light.
3 Milk should be kept cur
rent. Heed the sell-by date
stamped on cartons and
always serve the earliest
dated milk first
