Designing a sustainable plant
From Hilmar’s celebration of a new cheese and whey processing plant in Dodge City, Kan., to Danone’s $65 million investment to ramp up production of its International Delight creamers and STōK Cold Brew Coffee, dairy plants are investing in the future of dairy. There's also an everlasting focus on quality, sustainability and partnership.
Inside the Plant
Dairy Foods visits Neenah, Wis.-based Galloway Co., where we go “Inside the Plant” to learn more about their $70 million, 41,000-square-foot expansion and the star of the show, its new fully automated, multi-effect evaporator.
Packaging Technologies
As dairy processors continue to set sustainability goals, sustainable packaging is a big part of the solution to achieve these directives. Many dairy processors have pinpointed 2030 as a date to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their products.
Ingredient Tech
When it comes to consumer demand for sourcing and traceability of dairy products, the word “transparency” looms large. Transparency regarding not only food safety, but consumers wanting to know ingredients in products they consume are properly sourced and traced.
Outlook Report
Clean label is a broad concept without a clear definition, but holistically, it’s about simplicity, clarity and transparency. In fact, some ingredient suppliers only offer organic, non-GMO and sustainably sourced ingredients.
