The Public Health Service Milk Sanitation Activities in Relation to State and Local Programs

Public Health Service, U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

The milk-sanitation program of the U. S. Public Health Service, which is concerned with the sanitary quality of fluid milk and fluid milk products, and frozen desserts, is described. The objective of the program, which is basically nonregulatory in nature, is to assist the states in the development and conduct of effective programs for the prevention of milk-borne disease. This is accomplished through development of suggested standards and technical procedures; conduct of research and investigations: provision of technical and advisory assistance to states, municipalities, and industry; education and training, and the development of sanitary criteria for the design and construction of dairy equipment. Public Health Service regulatory functions relating to approval of fluid milk and milk products and frozen desserts served on interstate carriers, and the role of the Service in the cooperative State-PHS Program for Certification of Interstate Milk Shippers, are also discussed.
