TRACE

How DESIGO® traces its milk.

Seven steps — origin, trace, test, chill, process, fill, deliver — each recorded as the milk changes hands.

TEST

Quality, before trust

Tested at the source. Tested again at the plant.

Milk is screened for common adulterants and freshness at sourcing, and tested again when it reaches the plant. The result travels with the batch, so it is recorded, not remembered.
