Cox, D.V.M Director of Environme ta , i SUBJECT: Proposed ordinance re ating plastic bottle manufacturer for Grade A Milk and other food. Since 1961, Minnesota municipalities which inspect milk plants are required to inspect them according to the standards adopted by the Minnesota State Department of Agriculture (see attachment 1) . The standards adopted by Agriculture and thus the City of St. Paul are the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance 1978 Recommendation of the United States Public Health Service. These Recommendations were re- vised and adopted by St. Paul on February 21, 1980 (see attachment 2) . We were notified by the Department of Agriculture that a plastic milk bottle (for Grade A Milk) plant was being built in St. Paul and that we would have the responsibility for the licensure and inspection of the plant. This is in accordance with the Recommendation (see attach- ment 3) . St. Paul does not have an ordinance requiring the licensing of such a plant, nor does it have the standards to enforce. The stand- ards are to be found in the appendix which we are requesting to be adopted (see attachment 4) . Presently, plastic milk bottles are being shipped in from outside of the city, and are inspected by other agencies. A plant in St. Paul will be able to afford better service to our milk plants. The only chan�e which will occur is that the plant will have to be licensed and meet the standards set forth in the appendix. In addi- tion, St. Paul Will have the responsibility for the quality of the product �roduced b;! this plant.

In order to protect the pubiic health and wel- fare. to promote the interests of the dairy industry in Minnesota, and to secure uni- formity, the commissioner of agriculture may adopt standards, grades and price -�" differentials between various grades of mitk and cream for milk and cream purchased �: for manufacturing purposes. Before adopting any standards, grades, or price differen- ' �"` tials for milk and cream,the commissioner shall hold a public hearing thereon,as pra vided by law. Until such standards, grades and price differentials are made and filed, ihe standards, grades, and price differential heretofore made by the comrzussioner re- main in ei`fect except as otherwise prescribed by law. Subd. 2. Statement of purchases turnished to seller. A!t milk or cream pur- chased for manufacturing purposes shall be purchased on the basis of the standards, �ades, and price differentials between grades so adopted. Every purchaser of milk or cream for manufacturing purposes shall, at time of payment therefor, furnish ihe per- aon from whom purchased a statement showing the date of grading, the grade, and the price paid therefor. The statement may be included on the check delivered by the purchaser to the seller in pa-,�+ment of the milk or cream. Subd 3.

Industry-applied controls in manufacturing and han- dling, coupled with certain characteristics inherent in both the materials and . manufacturing process have made it possible for these products to reach the point of use in a sanitary condition free from toxic materials which may migrate into milk or milk products. Within recent years single-service container manufacturers have introduced new materials, equipment, and design concepts for these containers and closures. Evaluation of the industry's basic manufacturing and handling techniques and establishment of sanitation criteria will assure that single-service containers and closures and the materials from which they are formed will continue to be safe and in compliance with bacteriological standards of Item 12p of the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance--1978 Recommendations oj the United States Public Health Service/Food and Drug Administration.l i 3 : - . . - � ;��5�'�� < FABRICATION OF SINGLE-SERVICE CONTAINERS AND CLOSURES FOR MILK AND MILK PRODUGTS A.
