The applicant will also be required to answer oral questions and demonstrate how to identify and record the proper information on temperature recording charts, including those that may not meet Grade A temperature requirements.  \nIn addition to the Questions & Answers in the Study Guide, the applicant should study the following (reproduced after the Questions and Answers section):  \nBulk Milk Hauler/Sampler Evaluation Report (Form FDA2399a)  \nFood and Agricultural Code , applicable sections California Code of Regulations, applicable sections  \nDegrade/Restricted Use Chart Illustrations: Examples of charts with temperature violations.  \nI. COUNTY SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES  \nThe County Sealer of Weights and Measures, under the supervision of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards, determines the accuracy of calibratedfarm tanks, public weigh master’s scales and cream scales.  \nWhen measuring and weighing devices are found to be accurate, a seal is placed on the measuring chart used for farm tanks or weighing devices.  \nII. MILK AND DAIRY FOOD SAFETY BRANCH – CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE  \nThe Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch (MDFS) will routinely check the measuring or weighing devices which have been approved by the County Sealer of Weights and Measure.  \nOther important functions of the Milk and Dairy Food Safety are to examine and license  \nProspective Samplers and Weighers, Milk and Cream Testers, and Technicians. Licensees  \nshall be examined for the accuracy of their work at frequent, irregular intervals. The term  \nDAIRY INSPECTOR used throughout the examination refers to a Dairy Foods Specialist employed by MDFS and/or an inspector employed by a County Approved Milk Inspection Service.  \nIII. DEFINITIONS OF TYPES OF MILK SAMPLES  \nA. DAILY SAMPLE: a representative sample used for testing for butterfat and solids not fat  \nB. REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE: a small portion, which contains the same percent of milk components as the bulk from which it is taken.  \nC. PROPORTIONATE SAMPLE: a sample of more than one lot of milk, collected in portions in ratio to the volumes of the lots being sampled.  \nD. COMPOSITE SAMPLE: a representative, proportionate sample taken from several lots of milk.  \nMILK AND DAIRY FOOD SAFETY BRANCH  \nGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING BULK MILK  \n1. Wear clean clothing and maintain clean hands.  \n2. Be sure that your tanker has a wash tag, showing that it has been properly cleaned and sanitized.  \nNotify your employer of any unusual conditions. Connecting hoses, pipes, fittings and pumps shall be properly protected from contamination in route, at the farm and the plant.  \n3. Wash and dry hands (use soap and clean towels) after connecting the milk transfer hose and just prior to sampling.  \n4. Do not smoke in the milk house.  \n5. Check recording thermometer chart for proper milk cooling. The agitator shall be running before the chart is removed. Report milk not meeting Grade A temperature requirements.  \n6. Milk room doors shall not be left open. Use the load-out hose port for the hose to pump milk from the milk house into the tanker.  \n7. Lift milk tank lid and check milk quality. Pocket thermometers placed into the milk should be washed and sanitized.  \n8. Measure the milk and immediately record the reading. Handle the measuring rod in a sanitary manner.  \n9. After starting the agitator, hook up pipes, hose and electrical cord. If the agitator is not working, note it on the shipper’s measurement record (farm tag) .  \n10. Make sure the sampling device is sanitized for at least one minute in a solution of 200 parts per million (ppm) or more fo","cbCaiuSJzEjlSGgn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuSJzEjlSGgn","pdf",1238743,21,"English","# County Sealer of Weights and Measures\n# Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch - California Department of Food and Agriculture\n# Definitions of Types of Milk Samples\n## Daily Sample\n## Representative Sample\n## Proportionate Sample\n## Composite Sample\n# General Instructions for Handling Bulk Milk\n# Questions & Answers","[{\"question\":\"Why does California license samplers and weighers who take and record milk and cream measurements?\",\"answer\":\"The daily representative sample is tested for butterfat and solids-not-fat, and the measurements are used for payment.
