Milk for Manufacturing Purposes and Its Production and Processing; Requirements Recommended for Adoption by State Regulatory Agencies

This document amends the recommended manufacturing milk requirements (Recommended Requirements) by reducing the maximum allowable bacterial estimate and somatic cell count in producer herd milk and by reducing the maximum allowable bacterial estimate in commingled milk. In addition, this amendment modifies the follow-up procedures when producer herd milk exceeds the maximum allowable bacterial estimate. The amendment to reduce somatic cell count and bacterial estimate was initiated at the request of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) and was developed in cooperation with NASDA, dairy trade associations, and producer groups.
