This top honor is the culmination of an intensive assessment process. Three ice cream plants and five fluid milk plants, including Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii Hilo, were selected as Excellence in Quality Award winners based on multiple criteria such as Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program scores, training participation, and consumer complaint improvement.
These eight plants were then scrutinized further by Dean Foods’ senior leaders, who took into account quality innovations, best practices, and the “quality culture” within the plant. The Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii Hilo emerged as the leader in the fluid milk category.
“Our team is committed to providing everyone on the Big Island and throughout Hawaii with wholesome, great-tasting dairy products every day,” said Moniz. “Superior quality has always been a top priority for Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii, which is why we are so honored to be recognized as Dean Foods’ top fluid milk plant.”
Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii has been providing wholesome, nutritious, and delicious food and beverages to Hawaii since 1897 when seven Oahu dairy farms formed a cooperative to create a stronger presence in the marketplace.
