Bel Brands' Wisconsin pride: A look inside the cheese plant
Bel Brands’ recently FSSC 22000 certified manufacturing facility in Little Chute, Wis., produces cold-pack and gourmet cheese spreads, including WisPride, Kaukauna, Boursin and Merkts.
Tucked away in a small town in Wisconsin is Bel Brands USA’s Little Chute plant, the smaller of its two cheese plants. Last October the plant was the first of Bel’s to get the Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FSSC) 22000.
The Leitchfield, Ky., plant is also in the process of getting certified. (A third plant is under construction in Brookings, S.D., and is scheduled to begin production by July 2014.)
