milk storage
Bulk storage of unprocessed milk, excluding packaged milk and finished dairy products held in warehouses.
Milk storage facilities are places for bulk storage of unprocessed milk. This does not include warehouse spaces for storage of packaged milk or finished dairy products.
The stored milk remains unprocessed raw material. The usage concerns its holding stage before subsequent use or processing.
A warehouse of packaged milk or finished dairy products is excluded. The agricultural origin of those goods does not make them raw milk.
