A couple points of interest from a recent article, "Of Cheese, Seals and Deming" in Cheese Reporter by Dan Strongin reminded me of my previous experience. I was buyer for a hospital as well as my past accounting experience with a large dairy processing company.
In one section Mr. Strongin refers to the least expensive ingredient may look like it’s saving you money but you may lose in yield. We had to watch this closely at the hospital as well, buying the lesser expensive item doesn’t do you much good if the doctors won’t use it or it doesn’t supply the patient with the results expected. As we state in our new website, we have over 750 suppliers that we buy from. Thus, we can supply you with a reduction in cost as you are only dealing with one vendor – us. We do not promise to be the lowest supplier on all items but combining

A interesting article in Dairy Foods, recently appeared with the title "Lab Testing Dynamics, A Discussion with Industry Experts." In the article, Dairy Foods interviewed a few of our vendors, asking the question; “What are the most vulnerable safety points in dairy foods manufacturing”?
The responses given were:
Interview #1: “The presence of antibiotic residue in milk is always a concern. Even at the best run farms, accidents can happen. That is why the industry has a strong program for testing milk to insure that it is free of antibiotic residues. The tests used to detect the presence of antibiotics in milk are divided into two basic classes. There are fast, reliable tests based on antibody/antigen reactions. They are generally limited to detecting a single antibiotic or a class of antibiotics. The other technology uses the growth of special strain of bacteria that is very sensitive to antibiotics. These tests can detect a broad spectrum of antibiotics from many different classes; however, they generally take two to three hours to complete”.The kits referred to in this response are our DSM Delvotest kits, which are item numbers: NCIMS use kits; 233-3006 (Delvotest P, 25 test kit), 233-3480 (Delvotest P, 480 test kit), 233-3009 (Delvotest SP, 25 test kit). We also offer the SP-NT (which stands for no tablet), item # 233-3424 (25 test kit) and the 233-3148 (100 test kit), which at the present time do not have NCIMS certification.
