What should be done if modifications are made to a pasteurizing unit?

When modifications are made to a pasteurizing unit, it is essential to notify the milk and dairy foods control branch. This action ensures that all changes comply with health and safety regulations, as well as industry standards. The regulatory body needs to be aware of any alterations to the equipment that could affect the pasteurization process, product safety, or quality. These guidelines are in place to protect public health and to maintain the integrity of dairy products.

By notifying the appropriate authority, the facility demonstrates its commitment to compliance and safety. This also allows for any necessary inspections or evaluations to occur, ensuring that the modified unit functions properly and continues to meet regulatory standards. This step is critical for maintaining the license to operate and for the overall trust in the dairy industry.
