Inspectors from Alberta Agriculture and Food inspect dairy farms and dairy processing operations including buildings, land, milk transport vehicles, milk transport vehicle depots and laboratories for testing dairy products, to ensure that they meet the requirements of the Dairy Industry Act and the regulations. Alberta Milk issues the licences for dairy farms and dairy plants.
