The first anniversary of the standard for artisanal dairy establishments in Argentina

A joint resolution, proposed by Senasa and implemented a year ago, has adapted sanitary hygienic requirements for artisanal dairy establishments, allowing them to produce dairy products with the same safety and quality as larger facilities. This regulation, known as article 60 bis, exempts these establishments from certain facilities and allows for pasteurization in sachet technology, facilitating the expansion of dairy production. Maximus Opinion: This article highlights a significant step towards supporting small-scale dairy production in Argentina, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. The article 60 bis regulation, backed by Senasa and other health authorities, allows artisanal dairy establishments to operate with reduced facilities requirements, promoting the registration and authorization of new establishments. Additionally, the integration of the Pasteurization in sachet technology, developed by INTA-UBA, enables the expansion of dairy production while adhering to necessary animal health, hygiene, environmental, and food safety standards, indicating a positive development for the dairy industry in Argentina.
