THURSDAY, SERIALS OCTOBER 17, 1974 SMITHFIELD, UTAH OF UTAH 21 1374 CROCK CERT. 84335 Adult PR Director SaysCheese Not Contaminated Theres no cheese ruin- ed!" said Wallace Parrish, public relations and advertising director for the Cache Valley Dairy Assn. Previous reports on various news media stated that 25,000 pounds of milk was allegedly contaminated at the Smith-fiel- d plant when a drop of oil fell into a vat being processed. According to Parrish this is how the incident occurred : Last July a federal inspector was making the rounds of the plant with our head cheesemaker. One of the motors above a particular vat had just been oiled and as the motor started up they saw one or two drops of oil fall into the val. The cheese-make- r reached over and scooped out the oil and then asked the inspector what should be done about it. Parrish said that the inspector replied that the matter would be left up to the head cheesemaker and that he would not suggest any action on the matter. Action asking for seizure of the cheese was reportedly filed late last week in the U. S. District Court in Salt Lake City, but no one at the plant had heard from the court as of press time. Parrish said he had no idea who could have filed the action as the state inspector said that he Mould take no action on the matter. We went ahead and made up the cheese and then set it aside." Parrish said. We are pretty strict about our quality standards and even though we knew that the cheese was not contaminated it was still set aside. The cheese has not been packaged for sale and according to Parrish even if it is not seized by the government it will not be sold. As far as I know we have not heard anything yet from the court as to whether or not they will seize the cheese, he said. If they do seize it it will be up to them what they do with it. If they dont, I know what will be done with it. We haven't gotten that far yet." Parrish said that if the cheese is not sold, and it more than likely will not be, it will mean a loss of about one ton of cheese valued at The farmers that we buy from are strict with their milk and we are too, Parrish said. Since the media has got ahold of the story we've had people call the plant offering to buy the cheese. Parrish said that as far as anyone at the plant was concerned the cheese was top grade Cache Valley Swiss Cheese. Smithfield City Councilman Lonnie Loveday called the dedication of the new tennis courts Thursday night in Smithfields Central Park the most exciting thing that has happened, as far as the park is concerned."
