High-tech analytical solutions for safe and sustainable dairy production

Milk holds second place on the global list of most commonly adulterated foods. The highest risk is in countries with an emerging dairy sector, where control systems may be less well established. But even in well-developed markets, experienced milk hauliers and processors must stay alert to contaminants from tanks, equipment and criminal activity.

To maintain trust in dairy production, the industry must ensure consistent safety and quality, optimise raw material use and boost productivity. This makes reliable, high-frequency testing essential across the entire value chain.

Automated milk testing with results in less than a minute

In the dairy industry, Danish technology company FOSS provides high-tech testing solutions that serve as a standard quality assurance tool. By screening for bacteria, contaminants and overall milk quality, dairies can ensure high standards of food safety and fair payment for farmers.

Using FOSS technology, milk testing centres can program their instruments to screen raw milk samples for known sources of adulterant while determining the milk’s composition of protein, fat, lactose and total solids. Results are delivered in less than a minute.

By comparing samples with the composition of normal milk, the technology can identify individual adulterants that pose a threat to consumer health in less than a minute

FOSS has pioneered the use of Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis to meet this specific need. By comparing samples with the composition of normal milk, the technology can identify individual adulterants that pose a threat to consumer health in less than a minute.

Smarter milk testing supports safer, more transparent production

Innovative solutions from Danish analytical technology supplier FOSS empower the global food industry to safeguard food safety and quality. Automated screening of milk samples enhances transparency and efficiency, helping dairies optimise livestock yield and productivity.

For decades, FOSS has worked with the dairy sector to drive smarter, more sustainable food production – ensuring high food safety standards and improving trust across the value chain.
