Food safety starts at its source—on the farms. At Foremost Farms, all our dedicated members are committed to producing the highest-quality milk while maintaining standards in animal and environmental care.
The milk used in our products begins its journey with several steps of testing and quality assurance before it ever leaves the farm. Upon arrival at one of our eight dairy processing facilities, it undergoes continuous monitoring throughout the manufacturing process and final product testing. We pay meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring the safety and quality of all our products.
Why is this important?
As a leading dairy food manufacturer, Foremost Farms meticulously follows industry standards and hold ourselves accountable at the highest level. We actively participate with third-party organizations like Innovation Center for US Dairy and the Center for Dairy Research to stay at the forefront of best practices and to provide comprehensive training throughout the industry. Together, we can focus on offering comprehensive food safety guidance and training to manufacturers of all sizes and across all sectors.
Ensuring the safety of our dairy products is paramount at Foremost Farms. Our customers rely on us for award-winning dairy products and ingredients that are used by some of the world’s most trusted brands across national and international markets. At the helm of Foremost Farms’ safety efforts, Dawn Walter, a food industry veteran with 28 years of food safety, quality, and regulatory expertise, serves as our Senior Director of Food Safety and Quality Assurance. Food Safety and Quality are integral as we succeed in our mission to create value for our dairy farm families by partnering with our customers to deliver high quality, nutritious, safe and sustainable milk products to the marketplace.
