Farm Vat Milk Temperature. Time of Cooling The industry standard states that milk must be cooled to less than 5.0°C within 3½ hours from the commencement of milking. Norco’s policy is that raw milk is cooled on-farm to between 1.0°C and 4.0°C within 1½ hours from the end of milking (from when the last cups are removed). Milk tankers are insulated but not refrigerated and milk temperature will rise during collection and transit to the factory. Milk received at the factory with a milk temperature higher than 5.0°C is non-conformant. In extenuating circumstances, milk above 4.0°C can be collected subject to review by Norco Milk Supply. Drivers may need to collect milk within 1½ hours from the end of milking. This milk can be up to 5.0°C, subject to prior approval by Norco Milk Supply.
