New ESL Milk Items from Rockview Farms
Rockview Farms’ new Ninth Avenue Foods processing facility located in Southern
California is now processing Lactose Free Extended Shelf Life (ESL) Milk. This
milk has 85 days shelf life from date of manufacture and already has inquiries from
some of our international clients in Asia. They also process ESL Chocolate Milk
for both domestic and international markets and recently added the RCM Seal to
their Butter.
Organic Valley Milk
Dean Foods has formed a joint venture with CROPP, the organic farmer owned
cooperative and owner of the Organic Valley brand. The partnership is designed to
bring more processing and strength to the Dean family of brands while making
distribution easier and more cost effective for Organic Valley. With Organic Milk
flowing again, Organic Valley has added the Real California Milk Seal to their
gallons of regular shelf life milk and are also looking at options to use 100%
California Milk for their half gallon extended shelf life (ESL) product line not
processed by Dean.
Processing and shipping of Organic Valley items is expected to begin in mid-late
2017.
