Aurora Organic Dairy has opened a 127,000-square-foot milk production and storage facility in Columbia Missouri. The facility is the company's second milk bottling plant. It'll be used to process and package a variety of items including milk in single-serve and shelf-stable bottles and extended shelf-life milk in half-gallon cartons. Aurora says its aseptic milk bottling line makes the company one of very few dairy plants in America to distribute shelf-stable organic milk products.
The Columbia plant will be used to process milk varieties including A2, organic grass-fed, Omega 3 fortified, and lactose-reduced, as well as to produce value-added dairy products, such as fortified milk, flavored milks, and creamers.
"Products like these not only offer consumers more organic product choices, but they also help expand markets for organic milk producers. Innovation is rapidly changing the face of dairy beverages like never before, and organic milk is no exception," says CEO Scott McGinty.
