Milk matters long before the pour — and after it, too. For National Food Safety Education Month ( ), here’s a quick refresher on smart milk storage.

Skip these common slip-ups:
🥛 Don’t stash milk in the refrigerator door
🥛 Don’t grab milk first at the grocery store
🥛 Don’t leave milk sitting on the counter
🥛 Don’t drink straight from the jug
🥛 Don’t stand there with the fridge door open

DFA farmer-owners and the dedicated employees of our Cooperative work hard to get safe, delicious milk from farm to table.

Stick to these simple don’ts and your milk stays fresh, flavorful, and ready for your next cup of coffee or bowl of cereal.

We’ll raise a glass of delicious — chilled at 40 F or below — to that.

Bentley Instruments FTS/FCM Combination System represents the latest in state-of-the-art technology for automated milk analysis at up to 600 samples per hour. Engineered in accordance with Bentley Instruments’ rigorous design principles, the FTS/FCM provides precise and accurate measurements. The FTS/FCM comprises two separate modules—the Bentley Flow Cytometer (FCM), and the Bentley Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). The FCM measures the somatic cell count of the milk samples while the FTS simultaneously measures the milk composition, including fat, protein, and lactose. After first being stirred, the milk is drawn from a sample vial and delivered to both measurement modules. The sampling, sequencing, and identification of the sample vials are functions performed by the Autosampler.
