The article emphasizes the importance of milk in a healthy diet and promotes the consumption of domestic dairy products, particularly those from Poland, where the dairy industry has seen significant modernization and improvement in hygiene conditions over the past two decades. This transformation has led to a reduction in the number of farms involved in milk production and an increase in the quality of raw material, which is crucial for producing high-quality final products. Polish dairies have specialized in specific production directions and have implemented advanced food safety management systems, such as ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000, to ensure the health safety of their products. Additionally, investments in the latest technologies, like membrane installations and the production of Extended Shelf Life (ESL) milk, have allowed for the utilization of whey as a valuable raw material for further processing, indicating a significant advancement in the Polish dairy industry.
