In total, 88 percent of large and small plants met the standard. Failure to meet the standards requires immediate corrective measures by the plant and can lead to enforcement action by USDA. USDA tests for Salmonella because it is a good indicator of overall sanitary conditions at a plant. Salmonella is also one of the leading causes of foodborne illness. Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially for infants, the frail or elderly, and persons with chronic disease, with HIV infection, or taking chemotherapy. The most common manifestations of salmonel losis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional svmntoms may be chills, headache, nausea, and vomiting that can last up to seven days. Northeast Order Uniform Price For August 2000 BOSTON, Mass. Erik F. Rasmussen, market administrator for the Northeast Market ing Area, has announced that the statistical uni form price for August 2000 is $13.39 per hundredweight or $1.15 per gallon for milk de livered to plants located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts (Boston). The statistical uniform price is the benchmark minimum producer blend price paid to dairy farmers, prior to allowable deductions, for milk containing 3.5 percent butterfat, 2.99 percent protein, and 5.69 percent other solids. The price received by an individual dairy farmer will vary as the component composition of a farm’s milk differs from the established benchmarks. Rasmussen also stated that the producer price differential (PPD) for August is $3.26 per hun dredweight for milk delivered to plants located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The PPD rep resents each producer’s share of the value gener ated by the market wide pool on a hundredweight basis. The PPD, which is added to the payment pro ducers receive for their milk’s components, is adjusted for the location of the receiving plant. The statistical uniform price and PPD decrease by scheduled amounts, the more distant the plant is from Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The August PPD is $3.16 in New York, N.Y., and $3.06 in Philadelphia, Pa. The class prices for milk pooled in August are as follows: Class I, $15.20 (Suffolk County, Massachusetts); Class 11, $12.56; Class 111, $10.13; and Class IV, $11.87. Had the Northeast Order been in effect in 1999, comparable class prices for August 1999 would have been: Class I, $16.13; Class 11, $13.46; Class 111, $15.61; and Class IV, price $12.77. The component values for August are protein, $1.7952 per pound; butterfat, $1.2659 per pound; other solids, $0.0577 per pound; and nonfat solids, $0.8567 per pound. Milk receipts from producers totaled 1.918 bil lion pounds. Class I utilization, milk processed as beverage milk, was 45.2 percent of producer milk receipts. The average Class I utilization, for the three predecessor orders that were combined to form the Northeast Order, was 43.4 percent in August 1999. The manufacture Class II products such as cream, ice cream, yogurt, and cottage cheese uti lized 19.3 percent of producer milk. Milk used to manufacture Class 111 products such as cheese (American and Italian) and evaporated and con densed products utilized 30.4 percent of total milk receipts. Class IV usage (butter, nonfat and whole milk powder) equaled 5.1 percent of the total.
