Dairy Processing

We know that most dairy products fall into the chilled, ‘Ready-to-eat’ (RTE) product category. They also included dry milk powder production, used as an ingredient in many other products, and as a base for infant formula.

Microbiologically, chilled RTE products and infant formula production are classed as high-risk. Consequently, producers of these products in particular need to maintain high levels of hygiene to ensure consumer safety, longer product shelf-life, and brand reputation.

We also know that dairy processors face additional challenges associated with the production of modified dairy products, to cater for vegans, vegetarians, lactose

intolerant consumers etc., where control of product cross-contamination (including allergens) is essential in compliance with legal and labeling requirements.

Additionally, health-driven pressures to reduce the levels of salt, fat, sugar, and preservatives in many products, including dairy products, have created both product safety and quality challenges due to the removal of these traditional product safety/spoilage ‘hurdles’.

The impact of all of these challenges can be significantly reduced through the maintenance of high levels of environmental and equipment hygiene and Remco's tools and experts are here to help.
