Caption:
This historic 1933 photograph was taken in a creamery and pasteurization plant, located in Faribault, Minnesota. The capacity of the pasteurizer was 150 gallons. Pasteurization of milk is a process that includes having the milk heated, which is important in eliminating harmful bacteria, before its distribution to the public. This was one of a series of instructional images used by the Minnesota Board of Health, in order to train its public health workers. The purpose of these images, and the training, was focused on protecting food supplies from bacterial contamination.
