Dairy farmers to be trained on clean milk production

John Gethi, Brookside Dairy's milk procurement director

Dairy farmers will be trained on clean milk production as processors step up surveillance on milk quality to ensure products meet international food safety standards.

Brookside Dairy said it had rolled out a countrywide training programme on milk quality standards for all its farmers and contracted raw milk suppliers as the fight against adulteration of milk goes a notch higher. Players in the informal sector, such as milk hawkers, have often been accused of adding preservatives in raw milk as they seek to prevent it from going bad.
