Introduction:

In today’s health-conscious world, customers demand not just taste but trust. At Himmel Food and Manufacturers, ensuring dairy safety and quality is not an option—it’s a promise. Through stringent protocols and modern technology, we deliver dairy products that are not only delicious but also exceptionally safe.

Main Content:

1. Raw Milk Testing
Before any milk is processed at our facility, it is rigorously tested for multiple quality parameters. These include fat content, SNF (solids-not-fat), presence of antibiotics, microbial contamination, and temperature. We work with trained local vendors who understand our strict standards, ensuring only the cleanest, coldest, and freshest milk enters our supply chain.

2. Pasteurization Process
Milk is pasteurized by heating it to 72°C for 15 seconds, then rapidly cooled to 4°C. This controlled method kills pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella without compromising the nutritional value of milk. It ensures microbial safety while preserving calcium, vitamins, and flavor—meeting both health and taste standards.

3. Sterile Manufacturing Zones
Our production floor follows GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). All equipment is CIP (Clean-in-Place) compliant. Workers wear gloves, boots, masks, and head covers. We operate HEPA-filtered zones for paneer cutting, ghee pouring, and chhana preparation to eliminate airborne contamination and maintain sterility throughout the workflow.

4. Cold Chain Integrity
Temperature-controlled storage and transportation are vital. Our cold rooms maintain consistent 2–8°C environments. Insulated vans equipped with real-time temperature tracking deliver our products to distributors without thermal abuse. Every step, from pasteurization to packaging to final delivery, adheres to cold chain principles.

5. Regulatory Compliance & Audits
Our facility is FSSAI-certified and follows ISO 22000 food safety standards. Independent audits are conducted quarterly. We maintain traceability logs for every batch, allowing us to recall any product within minutes if necessary. These systems boost both internal efficiency and consumer confidence.

Conclusion:

Dairy is a sensitive product category that directly impacts health. At Himmel, we treat this responsibility with utmost seriousness. By combining advanced systems, ethical sourcing, and relentless quality checks, we ensure that what reaches your kitchen or storefront is dairy at its purest. Our motto: “From Farm to Family—Safe Every Step.”
