Transport
Burra Foods’ operations is vital, and that includes the contractors who collect milk on-farm. McColl’s specialises in farm milk collection and has been partnering with Burra Foods since 2022. McColl’s Transport is Australia’s largest independent bulk liquid carrier of milk, with the country’s most modern and specialised food grade tanker trucks spread over 23 depots.
Food Safety
Complying with all food safety regulations is not enough for Burra Foods, we pursue best practice at every opportunity. All operational Victorian dairy farms must be licenced by the state regulatory authority, Dairy Food Safety Victoria (DFSV).
As part of its licence requirement, each farm must implement an approved food safety program and be audited every two years by a nationally accredited and approved auditor.
In addition, Burra Foods has its own DFSV-approved food safety program which is designed to identify potential food safety hazards specific to each farm operation, including the systems and records used to control those hazards. To ensure compliance, all new farm milk supply partners of Burra Foods are provided assistance and support with the implementation of their food safety program.
