Introduction

In Alberta, different agencies are responsible for licensing and permitting of dairy producers or dairy processors. Licensing is based on the volume of raw milk being produced or processed. To help ensure food safety, all animals must meet health requirements before milking, milk is tested before processing, and both production and processing facilities are routinely inspected.
