Dairy Plants

Surveyed and

Approved for USDA

Grading Service
PREFACE

The dairy plants listed in this publication are inspected at least twice yearly by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA). Plant approval is determined by unannounced inspections

covering more than 100 items, including milk supply, plant facilities, condition of equipment,

sanitary practices, and processing procedures. USDA inspection and grading services are

performed under the Regulations in 7 CFR Part 58—Grading and Inspection, General

Specifications for Approved Plants and Standards for Grades of Dairy Products administered by

the Dairy Grading Branch of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service.

USDA assigns dairy plant approvals using the two following categories:

Section I: Plants listed in this section produce products that are manufactured from dairy

ingredients meeting the requirements found in the regulations or originate from

USDA-approved plants and are therefore eligible for USDA grading or inspection

service. These products are designated by “B,” “C,” “D,” “F,” “M,” “S” and “W”

codes.

Section II: Plants listed in this section may have products produced from dairy ingredients that

did not originate from USDA-approved plants (“unapproved source plants”). 

Unapproved source plants are plants that, upon inspection, are found not to meet

USDA minimum requirements or plants that do not participate in the voluntary

USDA plant inspection program. In all other respects the plant must meet the same

requirements as a Section I plant. These operations are designated by “P” codes. 

The products processed or packaged by these plants are not eligible for USDA

grading and inspection service unless they are produced or processed from approved

dairy ingredients under continuous USDA inspection. 

Plant approval for grading service does not constitute an endorsement of product quality. 

However, such assurance can be achieved by official grading to evaluate the product according to

a U.S. grade standard or product specification, or a quality specification of the buyer or seller.

The USDA plant inspection program is widely used by the dairy industry. Plant managers

recognize it as an important means for improving and maintaining a sound operation for

producing dairy products that will meet specific grade or contract requirements and that have the

uniform quality essential for buyer and consumer approval and protection. Buyers also find this

program a reliable guide to sources of dairy products that have been produced under sanitary and

wholesome conditions.

The Dairy Grading Branch also provides grading services under its Resident Grading and Quality

Control Program, the Partners for Dairy Quality (PDQ) Program, and by request. Plants using

the Resident Grading Program are shown in this publication with an asterisk (*). This full-time

program offers on-the-spot official grading of the plant’s manufactured products, laboratory

testing, and plant inspection services. The resident program also makes available to the plant

manager the technical knowledge and experience of the Dairy Grading Branch’s supervisory staff

for help in solving product quality problems. Products eligible for certification from plants

participating in the PDQ Program are shown in this publication with a cross (†). This audit-
based program gives the plant the flexibility to produce and ship products at the customers

request but requires frequent, periodic audits of the production records and processes by the

Dairy Grading Branch to ensure that the products are produced according to the plant’s USDAaccepted quality management plan.

In addition to these inspection and grading services, the USDA provides a Dairy Equipment

Sanitary Design Evaluation Service. This service provides both fabricators and users a means to

assure that the equipment meets all inspection requirements. USDA fully supports and utilizes

the 3-A Sanitary Standards and 3-A Accepted Practices for design evaluations. In those instances

where 3-A Sanitary Standards or 3-A Accepted Practices have not been developed, the USDA

Guidelines for the Sanitary Design and Fabrication of Dairy Processing Equipment is the

criteria used.

These services are available on a voluntary basis, and fees are charged to cover costs. Managers

of dairy plants and other interested persons may obtain information about these services by

contacting the Washington Staff or the National Field Office. A listing of staff persons to be

contacted for additional information is provided at the end of this publication. 

Plants listed in this publication are identified by State-assigned code numbers (where available)

in accordance with the national uniform coding system known as FIPS (Federal Information

Processing Standards). This State-assigned identification precedes the plant name listing. Each

State has also been assigned a two-digit number which appears in this publication before the

name of the State.

This publication is revised every three months to reflect changes in plant approval codes and to

include new plants. This and other publications are available by contacting the Dairy Grading

Branch or from our home page at http://www.ams.usda.gov/dairy/grade.htm.

The following code can be assigned in addition to codes C3-C59, when the plant is producing cheese

with added ingredients (e.g., bacon, basil, pepper, tomato, etc.). For example, a plant producing

pepper jack (Monterey Jack cheese with peppers added) can request the C7 code in addition to the

C60 code. If the pepper jack is in a consumer sized package the plant can also request the C50 code.

Codes shown below denote products that are eligible for USDA grading or inspection service, which

are manufactured from USDA-approved dairy ingredients at USDA-approved dairy plants listed in

this publication.

Plants in Section I approved for codes marked with an asterisk (*) are subscribing to the USDA

Salmonella Surveillance Program. This program monitors plant control by quarterly USDA

sampling and testing of environmental and product samples, together with an established system of

follow-up in the event of a positive result. While this USDA monitoring implies a certain degree of

safety, the relatively low level of official testing does not ensure the absence of Salmonella

organisms in products manufactured in USDA-approved operations.

SECTION II

LISTING OF PLANTS WHICH HAVE PROCESSING OR 

PACKAGING OPERATIONS THAT MEET USDA 

REQUIREMENTS FOR FACILITIES AND SANITATION ONLY.

PRODUCTS PROCESSED OR PACKAGED BY THESE PLANTS 

MAY BE PRODUCED FROM DAIRY INGREDIENTS 

WHICH DID NOT ORIGINATE IN PLANTS APPROVED BY USDA.

THESE PRODUCTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR

 USDA GRADING AND INSPECTION SERVICE ONLY WHEN

 PRODUCED UNDER CONTINUOUS USDA INSPECTION 
SECTION II

Plants listed in this section may have products produced from dairy ingredients that did not

originate from USDA-approved plants (“unapproved source plants”). Unapproved source

plants are plants that, upon inspection, are found not to meet USDA minimum requirements or

plants that do not participate in the voluntary USDA plant inspection program. In all other

respects the plant must meet the same requirements as a Section I plant. These operations are

designated by “P” codes.

The products processed or packaged by these plants are not eligible for USDA grading and

inspection service unless they are produced or processed from approved dairy ingredients

under continuous USDA inspection. 

The two requirements of continuous inspection and usage of ingredients from USDAapproved plants must be satisfied in order for production from a “P” code plant to be used in

products made in USDA-approved plants listed in Section I. A USDA certificate must be

issued to accompany product produced in a “P” code plant to show that the product meets

these two requirements and may therefore be used in products produced by plants listed in

Section I.

25
Plants in Section II approved for codes marked with a single asterisk (*) are subscribing to the

USDA Salmonella Surveillance Program. This program monitors plant control by quarterly

USDA sampling and testing of environmental samples only, together with an established

system of follow-up in the event of a positive result. This Salmonella Surveillance Program is

limited to the testing of only environmental samples whenever the products manufactured by a

“P” code plant are produced with dairy ingredients from unapproved source plants. Plant

management may request Salmonella analysis of a plant’s “P” code production, provided it

has been produced under continuous USDA inspection. While this USDA monitoring implies

a certain degree of safety, the relatively low level of official testing does not ensure the

absence of Salmonella organisms in products manufactured in USDA-approved plants.
