Spotlighting , UTAH 1 SPOTLIGHTING UTAH Clean Milk Regulations Explained From Guy P. Stevens, state supervisor of dairies, comes a message vital to all interested in the cleanliness of the dairy products pro-ducts offered for public consumption. con-sumption. During the war, says Mr. Stevens, it was found that the quality of dairy products sold often failed to measure up to standards previously maintained. maintain-ed. Because of the important part dairy products play in the diet of people, a need was seen to re-educate the public toward the importance of the use of dairy products and that these foods be produced and marked under only the most sanitary conditions. A need was seen for a change in the dairy industry and far-reaching quality improvements im-provements must be put in order to regain and perpetuate the position the industry once held in the public esteem. In 1945, the more forward-looking forward-looking members of the dairy industry realizing the situation, draw up a bill which was passed by the state legislature establishing establish-ing a dairy section in the state department of agriculture with an advisory board composed of producers, processors and consumers. con-sumers. A quality improvement pro-grom pro-grom was then recommended by the advisory board as a means of keeping the industry in step with progress and to solve its own problems. The new program provides for elimination of false labeling of milk and dairy products as to quality. It defines unacceptable milk and cream, setting up standards of quality to determine its acceptability. It provides that the various milk distributors distribu-tors and the people responsible-for responsible-for processing the dairy products shall be placed under state permit. per-mit. It provides for the buyer of milk and cream to examine the raw product received at the plant and the rejection of that which is not acceptable. It requires re-quires also that milk sold to the public after July 1, 1947 shall be pasteurized. In addition, the regulations insist that milk producers provide pro-vide themselves with a rei.lking barn, milk houses, practices and utensils for properly keeping milk clean and safe. Such improvements im-provements are not unduly expensive, ex-pensive, it was pointed out, and an example is mentioned wherein where-in a milking barn was remodeled to meet Grade-A requirements including the milk house attached attach-ed for only $80.00 with the farmer farm-er doing the work himself, i The dairy industry feels that they are not asking too much when they insist on safeguarding milk and dairy products against uncleanliness and- disease-producing bacteria. Each producer of milk, therefore, is asked to produce milk only from clean healthy cows, in clean barns using us-ing clean, well-made utensils, clean milking methods and to handle milk in a clean, well protected pro-tected milk house with the use of rapid and adequate cooling equipment. The dairy improvement program pro-gram does not want to put anyone any-one out of business, but wants to keep him in business as a part of the dairy industry, and keep him in business in a businesslike business-like manner with the minimum of expenditure for cleanliness and safety. It is undoubtedly the obligation obliga-tion of the dairy industry's state milk control agencies and the officials of-ficials of every city and town in the State of Utah to work together to-gether to provide the people with a good milk supply and to build a dignified and stable dairy industry. in-dustry.
