§ 34061 Milk Pasteurization Temperature Recording

• •Any container used to pasteurize milk must have a special thermometer.
• •This thermometer records how hot the milk gets and how long it stays hot.
• •The thermometer must be accurate to make sure the milk is safe to drink.

A dairy farm heats milk to kill bad germs before selling it.

The farm must use a thermometer that writes down the temperature and time the milk was heated. This proves the milk was made safe.
