State Milk Board

The State Milk Board inspects, samples, and tests milk and milk products ensuring that they are wholesome and safe for consumption. The board operates both a Grade A Milk Inspection Program and a Manufacturing Grade Milk Inspection Program to ensure milk quality. The Manufacturing Grade Milk Inspection Program ensures sanitation, safety, and quality standards for milk used only for manufacturing dairy products (e.g. cheese and butter). Approximately one-half of all Grade A milk is consumed as fluid milk with the remainder used for manufacturing other dairy products.
