Chaos in the nonfat dry milk industry
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of market price fluctuations and salmonella contaminations on the nonfat dry milk industry.
Nonfat dry milk is the unsung hero of the dairy industry. The product is added to cheese, yogurt, and many baked goods to boost protein content. But recent fluctuations in market price – along with a couple major salmonella contaminations at one of the nation’s largest manufacturing plants – is affecting the supply chain. This week on “The Milkweed,” Pete Hardin and Bert Zipperer talk about the chaos – and how the change in costs could flow down to consumers and farmers alike. Photo by Alex Saks on Unsplash
