Initiated in 1916, the Collegiate Dairy Products Evaluation Contest has had a phenomenal record of growth and industry participation.
Dairy industry companies are strong supporters of the contest, and show their support by donating and storing contest samples, as well as providing proctors, scorers, and official judges.
Three organizations serve as sponsors for the Contest: The Food Processing Suppliers Association, The American Dairy Science Association, and the USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service, Dairy Programs.
The Contest represents the intense training of students by college professors who are experts in dairy product evaluation.
89th Contest
