we have techniques for differentiating between live virus and virus particles but aren’t using them for some reason

Just smackdab between the range of ‘absolutely safe’ to ‘do not loving drink’ and the dairy companies are giving the government the pouty dog look

there's a perfectly good reason for this:

quote:

The lengthy statement the agency released does not explicitly say FDA laboratories were unable to find live virus in the milk samples, but it does state that its belief that commercial, pasteurized milk is safe to consume has not been altered by these findings.

Today’s one of my required on-site work days. The coworker who got got a few weeks ago kindly used a sick day instead of coming in, because she actually cares about the whole not spreading disease thing.

To make up for it, a different coworker came in who has been intermittently coughing all day, and she just had to visit my cube specifically to tell me it was just allergies/asthma. Granted, it sounds like a dry cough and she otherwise seems normal, so maybe she’s right even if I’ve never heard her cough like this before. Nevertheless… N95, don’t fail me now.

Also, my milk belief is vegan milk doesn’t exist, because everybody knows milk comes out from teats and have you ever seen an almond with teats? :smuggo: Rule 34 doesn’t count

timely analysis from the boys down at the shop, headed by Rudolf Henkell-von Ribbentrop.

food safety is the number one concern and ranks as the fifth in list of concerns:




What is top of mind for dairy executives in 2024?

www.mckinsey.com posted:

As the global population grows, agriculture systems everywhere must find ways to feed humankind sustainably. The US dairy industry is no exception. C-suite and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leaders in the sector are shaping dairy’s path to a sustainable future, but at the same time, they are being asked to account for new innovations, regulations, and economic factors.

To gain insight into how dairy executives’ priorities have shifted over time, McKinsey and the International Dairy Foods Association conducted their sixth annual survey of dairy executives in fourth quarter 2023 (see sidebar, “About the research”).1 In interviews and responses to survey questions, respondents shared what excites them about dairy, emerging challenges in the sector, and more.

A number of new findings emerged from this survey. The previous survey showed that concerns were divided between growth, resilience, and sustainability, but sustainability has moved to the center of the conversation. We have seen progress on sustainability commitments and actions, but challenges with addressing farm-level emissions remain. Other findings indicate that although there is much work to be done, dairy executives are optimistic about the future of the industry.

Dairy executive posted:

Dairy is just scratching the surface of unlocking value for consumers around the world.

### Product nutrition and innovation

Almost 30 percent of dairy executives we interviewed were most excited about the nutrition or “goodness” of their products, from the high nutrient density of yogurt to the potential for dairy protein ingredients. In addition, one-third of the executives we interviewed were excited about product innovations that allow them to better harness the nutrition of dairy. Excitement about innovation is not new—as far back as the 2018 Executive Sentiment Survey, product innovation was the second-most-cited response to the question, “What do you believe is your company’s top source of competitive advantage?” (17 percent).

## What keeps dairy leaders up at night?

Although there is much to be excited about in dairy, industry leaders do not wear rose-tinted glasses when looking toward the future. When we asked dairy leaders about their biggest concerns (what keeps them up at night), the most frequent answers were sustainability and regulation (Exhibit 2).

### Regulation

Many dairy leaders also cited regulation as a topic on their minds (13 percent). This makes sense, given that in the United States, national legislation affecting the dairy industry, including the Federal Milk Marketing Orders and the Farm Bill, have recently and will be revisited and renewed. Of particular interest is the Farm Bill, which covers a large suite of conservation programs and associated funding, including the $18 billion expansion of funds granted in the Inflation Reduction Act for agricultural practices that can mitigate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In addition, on March 6, 2024, the US Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules to enhance and standardize climate related disclosures, adding pressure on sustainability transparency.8

The past few years have also seen new environmental regulations concerning dairy. For example, California Senate Bill 1383, enacted in 2020, requires dairies to reduce methane emissions by 40 percent from 2013 levels by 2030. Dairy leaders are also looking at environmental regulation abroad and considering what the impact could be if the United States follows suit. Examples include the European Green Deal and New Zealand’s upcoming carbon tax on farm emissions.
