Bongards' South, LLC
Not affiliated with Bongards Creameries.
THE QUICK READ
Bongards' South, in Humboldt, Tennessee, makes natural, process, cream, and imitation cheese, plus whey — running packaging and production lines through the day. It holds roughly 15,000 pounds of ammonia for its refrigeration system, large enough to require a formal process safety management program since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. A $35 million expansion added about 80,000 square feet of plant and cooler space for Bongards Creameries.
