Are digital thermometers accepted by dairy inspectors?
Yes, digital thermometers are 3A approved and are accepted in the dairy industry for raw or finished milk contact. The only place that a digital thermometer can not be used in the dairy industry is on their pasteurizer this is because a 1/2deg. accuracy is required and the digital thermometers have a deg. accuracy. Therefore the only thermometer accepted for pasteurizing is the mercury style.
