Millsapps, Ballinger & Associates (MB&A) is pleased to announce that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will leverage ExAM4Inspections.com to modernize and automate their dairy grading, plant surveys and auditing program’s compliance processes. This contract builds upon, and is a testament to, the product’s success in helping the Agricultural Marketing Service’s Laboratory Approval & Testing Division program ensuring the quality of the dairy products Americans use every day.
In more detail, the USDA’s inspection and grading services are offered on a voluntary basis, contingent on the approval of a manufacturing plant. By identifying the grade shield on everything from butter and cheddar cheese to instant non-fat dry milk, consumers can verify that the products were produced in a USDA-approved plant. The shield has real market value, as it indicates that every lot has been certified by an inspector to meet the grade requirements. Following a successful inspection, the plant can qualify for sampling, testing, and certification of its products.
