It is the responsibility of State and Federal regulatory agencies to uphold the supply of wholesome, quality food for the consumer. Without guidelines and regulations, the safety and quality of milk as we know it may not exist. The goal of Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), Food Safety Program is to obtain voluntary compliance in a manner that is mutually beneficial for the milk industry as well as the consumer. Washington State’s dairy inspection program operates under the requirements of the relevant Washington State regulations and Public Health Service/Food and Drug Administration Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). Compliance with the PMO is essential for Washington’s farm bulk.
