Food Safety and Quality
Begins At The Farm
The quality of milk that con
sumers buy today is the highest it
has ever been. Farmers are well
aware of all the tests and regula
tions that apply to them to guaran
tee this quality.
However, consumers are also
more concerned about quality
today than ever before. Every now
and then, the media highlights
some problem in the food chain
and the public begins to question
the safely and quality of their
food.

\^^oAumacAe’i.
These cases are isolated, but
really hurt the food industry and
tend to scare people mote than is
necessary.
Therefore, fanners must be
constantly striving to produce top
quality milk. A quality assurance
program assumes that'there are
explicit standards of quality for a
product and that proudcers and
users are aware of the standards.
This is the basis for the Dairy
and Dairy Beef Quality Assurance
Program. Dairy producers, in
cooperation with their vet and
dairy fieldman, agree to this
10-point program.
the main emphasis is on the
proper use of antibiotics and how
to prevent them from entering the
milk supply. You will be required
to complete this program if your
milk is found to contain antibiotic.
It is voluntary for others, but all
dairy farmers can benefit by com
pleting the book.
There is also a trend in quality
control to focus on critical control
points in the production of milk
and other food products, rather
than only testing at the end of the
cycle for acceptance or rejection.
An example of Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Points (HACCP)
would be for the hazard of bacteria
in milk.
The points to monitor to elimi
nate this hazard would be: • Clean
Cows ' Clean milking machines
• Clean and sanitize milk handling
equipment • Rapid cooling of
milk in the bullk tank • Cool
temperature storage of milk
