Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance

The 2023 Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance was huge success thanks to your support and collaboration of the NCIMS, FDA and many dairy stakeholders. Many activities were held to recognize the strides that we have made in this program over the last century, to educate the public about pasteurization and dairy food safety, and to honor the efforts of our state dairy programs and our industry

To close out 2023 the NCIMS hosted a webinar – 100 Years of Milk Safety – Past, Present, and Future of Milk & Dairy Safety on December 4, 2024 from 1:00 – 2:30 pm Eastern Time.
