PDG Student Liaison, gave an update on the student PDG activities with an

New Business: We opened the new business with Industry/Community
Updates. This started with Mark Moorman giving a talk about the
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) Centennial Celebration. This year, we
mark a momentous milestone - the 100th anniversary of the Pasteurized
Milk Ordinance (PMO). Finding its roots in the inception of the Standard
Milk Ordinance (SMO) of 1924 by the United States Public Health Service
(USPHS), the PMO was first adopted by the state of Alabama. The National
Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) was first convened in
1950 to strengthen U.S. milk safety programs. The NCIMS began annual
gatherings of all states and, by 1977, had formed a formal partnership
with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enhance federal and
state collaboration with the dairy industry in monitoring and improving the
safety of the nation's milk supply. The SMO transitioned into what we know
today as the Grade " A " Pasteurized Milk Ordinance in 1965. This significant
regulation was established with the primary aim of securing the safety
and integrity of milk and dairy products. In the era preceding the PMO, one
(1) out of every four (4) foodborne illnesses were directly related to dairy
consumption. In striking contrast, present-day statistics show milk as one
of the most reliably safe foods, boasting fewer than one (1) illness per 2
billion servings of milk products.
David Blomquist gave a quick review of the presentation he is giving
at the new Market Place activity at IAFP. David has spent the last few
years working with communities in Uganda and Nepal on developing new
products, including cheese, with milk supply from the villages. At the same
time, he is working with the villages on food safety practices. He asks we
stop by and hear his presentation and see his poster on the experience.
Ben Warren, FDA, gave an update on CODEX activities surrounding the safe
reuse of water, the ANNEX for milk and milk products, and the revisions for
the control of Listeria.
Mark Moorman, FDA, gave an update on the work being done on Ice Cream
Preventive Control Strategies for Listeria Controls in Ice Cream Production.
The strategies are being built for the smaller manufacturers. The ask is how
can we help promote these proper strategies in controlling Listeria with the
smaller manufacturers who normally would not attend or be a member of
IAFP. Neil Bogart offered to take this to the Foundation Committee to look
at this as an opportunity of philanthropy by the organization to help those
smaller manufacturers who may not be able to afford to come to IAFP. This
closed the updates.
Kara Mikkelson gave the attendees an overview of the 2024 symposia,
roundtables, poster, and technical dairy-related sessions that are taking
place over the next few days at the convention.
Sarah Murphy gave a quick review of the late-breaking roundtable
happening on Tuesday at 8:30 on HPAI and Dairy.
Josie and Sarah finalized the meeting with our annual symposia,
roundtable, and webinar ideation session to start building out ideas for
2025. A link to our ideation list: https://bitly.cx/zyefx.
