Straus passes university's Grade A test with bag-in-box organic milk for foodservice
The UC-Santa Barbara campus is the first to buy the BIB format.
Straus Family Creamery, Marshal, Calif., has introduced a 5-gallon bag-in-box organic milk product that is non-GMO Project Verified for the foodservice market. Straus launched the product at the University of California-Santa Barbara.
The bag-in-box milk is said to meet sustainable procurement priorities with organic certification. The bulk packaging is 100% recyclable and reduces food waste because students control the portion sizes. Straus said its milk fits into the growing sustainable food movement on college campuses, including the University of California system.
