What is our Dry Whey program?
 
Our proficiency team prepares a sample of Mashed Potatoes, freezes them, and ships them to all of our participants for the micro portion. A sample of Sweet Whey Powder is also prepared for analytical portion. Once the testing is completed by each participant - results are sent to our team here at Cherney where they are analyzed and placed into a statistical data sheet. We then notify all participants that had unsatisfactory results (based on the recent round of testing) and generate reports.
