NORTH MIAMI and ORLANDO, Fla.-A private-sector/public-sector collaboration has provided Florida hurricane victims with nearly a half million servings of aseptic milk for use in disaster areas that have lost power.
The relief efforts combined the resources of Woodbury, NY-based East Side Entrees, which donated the milk through its local ESE Dairies division; the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which incorporated surplus nonfat dry milk to fortify each serving; and Tetra Pak, which donated the 8-oz. shelf- stable packages.
