This comprehensive manual and CD provides field personnel with a critical tool for conducting inspection, investigation, and surveillance activities that ensure the safety of California’s milk and dairy products “from farm to table.” This manual includes materials—such as standard operating procedures, technical illustrations, diagrams, guidance documents, templates, and references—that Dairy Foods Specialists need on a day-to-day basis.

The Field Handbook for Dairy Foods Specialists was developed as a companion piece to the Dairy Foods Specialist Comprehensive Manual. The Field Handbook is organized by sections that correspond to those found in the Comprehensive Manual. It distills the essential content of the Comprehensive Manual to help the Dairy Foods Specialist quickly identify codes and regulations, key points, and required forms and reports to conduct field activities efficiently and effectively.
