Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of pasteurization in the market milk industry?

  • To prevent or delay microbial spoilage (correct)
  • To reduce the distribution capabilities of milk
  • To enhance the nutritional content of milk
  • To increase the perishability of raw milk

In a pre-1900 US milk distribution system, how was milk typically collected from the farm?

  • In milk tanks for bulk transportation
  • In individual bottles
  • In 3-gal cans
  • In 5- to 10-gal cans (correct)

Why would the pre-1900 milk distribution practices be considered unacceptable in the United States today?

  • Due to the lack of product distribution capabilities
  • Because of public health concerns and raw milk perishability (correct)
  • Because it resulted in reduced milk collection from farms
  • Due to the inability to blend milk in can-fill machines
