The dairy industry is on the cusp of a new era of packaging innovation, driven largely by sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets that require investment in new packaging solutions to limit food waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce landfilling.
Dairy processing facilities are complex and sprawling sites featuring modern engineering and technology. At the heart of any dairy plant is a team of dedicated employees working hard to instill a safety culture that permeates every aspect of the business and ensures compliance with regulations from the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
With the right approach and focus, the agency’s comprehensive initiative will provide the updates companies need to innovate and meet the tastes of today’s consumers.
Consumers walking down the dairy aisle have their choice of many different brands and products, from traditional favorites to new offerings with novel tastes, textures, flavors and nutritional content. When they're making purchase decisions, product labels matter.
