Episode 4: CheeseExpo Takeaways on Protein, Productivity, and Processing

In this episode of ZwitterCo Unfiltered, Jon Goodman and Scott Brown record live from CheeseExpo, sharing what they’re hearing directly from food & dairy processors across the industry. With record attendance and strong market conditions, the conversation reflects a sector focused on growth, efficiency, and maximizing output.The discussion covers rising protein demand, the continued shift toward higher-value products like MPC, MPI, and WPI, and how some plants are beginning to rethink traditional processing steps. Jon and Scott also dive into technical conversations from the show floor, including replacing nanofiltration (NF) with superfiltration (SF), simplifying cleaning programs, and reducing reliance on enzyme washes.What You’ll Learn:How processors are shifting toward MPC, MPI, and WPI productionWhy some plants are evaluating SF as a replacement for NFHow simplifying cleaning programs can reduce downtime and operating costsWhere enzyme steps are being reduced or eliminated in cleaning programsHow dairy processors approach testing and qualifying new membranes
