Sensory Test. It is a requirement that all consignments of farm milk undergo a sensory testing by the tanker driver. All drivers are accredited Bulk Milk Graders. The sensory test is to ensure the milk does not contain any objectionable odours and or foreign matter. Foreign matter includes contaminants such as the presence of manure, flies, blood (pink milk), colostrum or antibiotics (blue milk). • Where milk undergoes a sensory testing by a milk grader on behalf of Real Dairy prior to collection, any objectionable odours and or foreign matter will result in the milk being rejected by Real Dairy • Real Dairy will not pay for milk contaminated with objectionable odours or foreign matter.
Sensory Test. A sensory test is conducted by the tanker driver on each vat load of milk before pumping commences. Any vat which fails the sensory test (for example, contains visible extraneous matter, discolouration or unacceptable odour) will be rejected by the tanker driver. SDA may conduct further tests on the milk. To ensure traceability to farm, each sample is identified with the individual farm’s supplier number. Suppliers are provided with written notice of test results, as soon as reasonably practicable, after the milk tests are completed (refer Section 4.15).
