The 3-A Sanitary Standards Committees—Their Work and Contributions

Department of Dairy, Michigan State University, East Lansing

ABSTRACT

Since the publication of the first Sanitary Standard in May of 1947, the 3-A Sanitary Standards Committees have been engaged in one of the most important assignments ever given an industry group. From their deliberations have come the recommended standards, specifying the construction of dairy processing equipment. As a practical result, equipment manufacturers, sanitarians, and public health officials will be able to exert a common effort toward providing the consumer with wholesome dairy products.

The membership of A.D.S.A., especially those members in academic work, should know the composition of these committees and how they function. Briefly, the committees are composed of representatives from a) the Committee on Sanitary Procedures (CSP), International Association of Milk & Food Sanitarians, Inc., b) Milk and Food Program, U. S. Public Health Service, and c) the Sanitary Standards Subcommittee (SSS), Dairy Industry Committee. The over-all objective is to formulate and encourage acceptance, through the mutual cooperation of these agencies, representing the sanitarian, manufacturer, and user groups, of 3-A Sanitary Standards specifying sanitary criteria for equipment used by the industry.
