Abstract: Report Introduction: This report deals with use patterns of fluid and dry milk products in selected eastern and midwestern institutions. The research was conducted by the Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Agricultural Economics Department, College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin. The information presented here represents one phase of a broader study of a new dairy product--sterilized milk concentrate. No previous information was available on current milk consumption patterns (type, quantity, method of use) in institutions, so benchmark data were collected from a sample of selected types of institutions. The data originally were gathered to determine how the new concentrate would fit into the dairy industry's product mix, but the resulting information on milk and milk product use in institutions was valuable independent of the larger study. For the present report, the data were analyzed in relation to total food costs and food service patterns in the sample institutions.
