Baton Rouge-Based Kleinpeter Farms Addresses Sour Milk Issues

Baton Rouge-based Kleinpeter Farms Dairy, one of the only locally-owned dairies in Louisiana, is addressing months-old claims that the quality of their milk products has decreased.

The Greater Baton Rouge Business Report says although no one including the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals is suggesting the company's products pose any health issues, for months, grocers have seen customers return Kleinpeter milk in larger quantities, complaining that it tastes bad.

The widely-known problems have driven Kleinpeter to hire consultants, an LSU dairy scientist, replace older equipment and fire several employees to investigate why customers are claiming its milk has a strange chemical taste, and why the milk is spoiling before its expiration date.
