Milk tankers are insulated but not refrigerated and milk temperature will rise during collection and transit to the factory.

Drivers may need to collect milk within 1½ hours from the end of milking. This milk can be up to 5.0oC, subject to prior approval by Norco Milk Supply. 4.6.2 Milk Temperature Monitoring Vat temperatures should be monitored during milking, at the completion of milking and at any stage during the day when the Supplier is in the vicinity of the milk vat. If at any point the milk is not cooling within specification, or cooling slower than usual, immediately contact a qualified technician to assess and if necessary repair / replace the cooling system.
