THE QUICK READ
Portales Dairy Products, the Dairy Farmers of America plant in Portales, New Mexico, turns raw milk into hard Italian cheeses and dairy ingredients such as powders, concentrates, seasonings, and flavor enhancers for other food makers. The site runs drying and processing lines that turn liquid milk into these shelf-stable products, with on-site refrigeration keeping raw and processed dairy cold along the way. It holds about 20,600 pounds of ammonia, enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds.
