Ensuring Dairy Quality & Safety from Farm to Refrigerator
Introduction
Public awareness of food safety issues has reached new heights in the past decade. When consumers were asked about the importance of various factors when shopping for food, nutrition and product safety ranked second only to taste (1). Specifically, 71% of shoppers rated product safety as very important, while 91% rated safety as very or somewhat important (1). Additional evidence supporting increased interest in food safety is found in the 2000 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2), which, for the first time, includes a guideline on food safety.
Milk and other dairy products are among the safest foods in the U.S. (3). A complex system of stringent regulations by government agencies, along with industry control programs, helps ensure the quality and safety of dairy products (3-5). For example, pasteurization of milk and other dairy products helps to ensure the microbiological safety of these foods (3,6,7).
This Digest reviews government regulatory and dairy industry programs that protect the quality and safety of milk and other dairy products. Also included are tips for consumers to maintain milk¹s quality.
