The Public Looks at Milk Sanitation

Evaporated Milk Association, Chicago

ABSTRACT

Workers in dairy technology and dairy husbandry have a vital interest in milk sanitation. The quality and safety of milk and dairy products are of prime importance to consumer acceptance and the welfare of the entire dairy industry.

In the sanitary standards work of a major segment of the industry we are constantly evaluating approaches to the problems as well as the activities of all regulatory and dairy industry representatives. Therefore, an extensive survey was conducted among various groups concerned with milk sanitation to determine opinion on the relative importance of various problems, methods of attacking the problems, ways of improving the effectiveness of milk sanitation work, and the qualifications of a milk sanitarian.

Great interest was displayed in the survey, as indicated by the fact that 90% of the questionnaires were filled out and returned. A total of 160 replies were received from representatives of city and state health departments, state departments of agriculture, U. S. Public Health Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, colleges of agriculture, producer organizations, fieldmen, editors of farm and dairy periodicals, and other leaders in the dairy industry.
