Dairy Products Manufacturing Workers

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

To ensure that consumers receive safe, healthful dairy foods, many dairy products workers must be licensed by a state board of health or other local government unit. Licensing is intended to guarantee workers' knowledge of health laws, their skills in handling equipment, and their ability to grade the quality of various goods according to established standards. Some workers, such as cheese graders, may need to be licensed by the federal government as well.

Other Requirements

Many dairy products workers must pass physical examinations and receive certificates stating they are free from contagious diseases.
