Ulaanbaatar, December 5, 2023 /MONTSAME.  APU Dairy Mongolian dairy company introduced nine types of “Mont-Yak” dairy products to the market. APU Dairy launched the "Mongolian Yak-Home Production" project in Chuluut soum, Arkhangai aimag, in 2022. The company produces "Mont-Yak" yak milk dairy products adopting food safety standards in home production under the Project.

 

Last week, Mont-Yak's Sarlagiin shar tos [yak milk butter] and Amtat khailmag [caramelized clotted cream] products received a "Certified Transitional Organic" certificate from SFCS Certification LLC. The certificate is obtained by certifying organic food products at all stages of food production.

Under the project, value-added semi-processed and processed milk products are purchased from 30 herders of Chuluut soum in Arkhangai aimag to produce Mongolian yak organic dairy products.

Vitamin B12, zinc, and protein contained in the "Mongolian Yak" products certified as organic food are 1.5-3 times higher than in cow's milk. Therefore, the Project to deliver dairy products rich in vitamins and minerals will have a positive impact on public health.
