Virginia based Millsapps, Ballinger & Associates (MB&A) announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will leverage ExAM4Inspections.com to modernize and automate their dairy grading and auditing program’s compliance processes.
Used by over 250 public housing authorities, this contract aims in helping the Agricultural Marketing Service’s Laboratory Approval & Testing Division program ensure the quality of the dairy products Americans use every day.
“I am very excited to see our growth within their audit and compliance programs and eager for ExAM4Inspections to bring transformational value to USDA stakeholders, customers and constituents,” said Bradley Hilker, Strategic Account Executive, MB&A.
The USDA’s inspection and grading services are offered on a voluntary basis and by identifying the grade shield on everything from butter and cheddar cheese to instant nonfat dry milk. This helps consumers to verify that the products were produced in a USDA-approved plant.
The shield has real market value, as it indicates that every lot has been certified by an inspector to meet the grade requirements. Following a successful inspection, the plant can qualify for sampling, testing, and certification of its products.
