2. Sanitary quality control of cheese production
This section deals only with controls on parameters that can have an impact on the sanitary quality of cheeses.
2.1 Main milk controls
When pumping milk at the producer's premises, it is important for the driver-feeder to visually check the quality of the milk (correct cooling, suspect odor or color, etc.).
Before unloading, Dornic checks temperature, pH and acidity. High temperature (> 10°C), low pH and high acidity may be signs of microbial development that could be detrimental to sanitary quality. Target pH and acidity values vary from one milk to another.
