Arla Foods installs Mocon’s Greenlight Instrument in UK dairies to speed ESL milk spoilage testing
By Arla Foods
Arla Foods, one of the world’s largest dairies, is continuing to set new quality standards by installing a breakthrough technology for measuring potential extended shelf-life (ESL) milk spoilage issues in three of its UK dairies.
Arla will be using GreenLight instrumentation from Mocon Inc. to test ESL milk. GreenLight can provide results at very low bacterial loads in less than 24 hours without in-carton pre-incubation. This compares to 48- to 72-hours required by the traditional, agar-based, standard plate count method.
