Dairy Product Grading Clinic to be Held September 30
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/25/2008

The 2008 Dairy Product Grading and Evaluation Clinic will be held September 30 at World Dairy Expo in Madison. The event is a comprehensive training program on dairy product grading (cheese, butter, cottage cheese, and ice cream) led by graders from the USDA, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, and University of Wisconsin.

The Dairy Product Grading and Evaluation Clinic provides an excellent opportunity for dairy industry personnel to sharpen their present grading skills while learning new product evaluation techniques. This year's clinic will feature a comprehensive grading session format in which expert graders will discuss common defects in dairy products, what buyers are looking for and how to properly grade dairy foods. Following this presentation, federal, state and selected industry graders will join attendees as they have an opportunity to evaluate over 40 different samples of cheese, butter, cottage cheese and ice cream.

In the afternoon, participants will hear informative presentations of issues that impact the dairy industry. The session begins with Dean Sommer, Center for Dairy Research, speaking on new utilizations and end uses for various cheese products.

Following that discussion, there will be a presentation by Jay Myrick, Kerry Ingredients, on how to avoid listeria in dairy plants, post contamination, product recalls and other dairy plant environmental problems.

The Dairy Product Grading & Evaluation Clinic will be of interest to all segments of the dairy processing industry - graders, quality and assurance personnel, technicians, salespersons, plant managers, retailers, suppliers and farmstead operations.
