Episode #6, Listeria and Johnson’s Real Ice Cream, how to keep your dairy plant clean by Matt Wilcoxon

This is a great conversation with industry leader Matt Wilcoxon of Johnson’s Real Ice Cream.

I have had the pleasure to work with Matt and his family since i moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1982.  (My audio starts a little rough, but kicks in after a few seconds.)

Matt Wilcoxon, 4th generation ice cream maker, from Columbus, OH, USA, talks about his families ice cream plant and how his dairy stays clean and how you can do the same; no matter how small your ice cream business is.

 Listeria is nothing new, says Matt, just how we treat it.  Sit back and listen to how Matt and his dairy maintains a Listeria-free dairy plant and his thoughts on how the industry is working together to keep ice cream a healthy treat.2016-12-09_0725

 

 

 

 

The Wilcoxon family has been a great customer of C. Nelson mobile and in-store cabinets for many years.  C. Nelson Mfg., Co, is a proud partner in the listeria clean program at Johnson’s diary and retail shop.

WILLOUGHBY HILLS, Ohio — Foster’s Homemade Ice Cream has been operating as an ice cream shop since 1947, and in that time not a whole lot has changed, inside or outside.

That sense of consistency is a big part of Foster’s old-school charm. When owner Jeff Knuth bought the ice cream shop from the previous owner 15 years ago, he bought the recipes for the ice cream along with the building. He even insists on using the same vendors for ingredients that the previous owners did.

Cleveland.com’s “Best of” team visited Foster’s on Thursday as part of our Best Ice Cream contest. Foster’s is in the running for the best ice cream in the East Region, up against Dairy King in South Euclid and Cibik’s Dairy Island in Chagrin Falls. The winner of this round will advance to the final round of voting, which will determine the winner for the overall Best Ice Cream in Greater Cleveland for 2016.
