§ 34031 Milk Pasteurization Equipment Cleanliness

• •Machines used to pasteurize milk must be kept very clean.
• •This rule is about making sure milk and milk products are safe to drink or eat.
• •If the machine isn't clean, it could make people sick.

A dairy farm uses a machine to pasteurize milk before selling it to stores.

The farm must clean the machine really well every time they use it. If they don’t, bacteria could grow in the machine and make the milk unsafe. The farm could get in trouble if they don’t follow this rule.
