PROVO – Thanks to a BYU student’s new Web site, consumers can now discover that
their butter was churned in Idaho, their sour cream created in Pennsylvania and
their milk milked in Utah.
BYU senior Trevor Fitzgerald created the site whereismymilkfrom.com because he
was noticing more people interested in knowing where their food comes from and
how they could buy local products.
“I’m interested in the dairy industry, interested in food traceability,” the
Information Systems major said. “I’ve also never seen anyone do (this) before.”

created a website that simplifies information from the Food and Drug
Administration that allows people to trace a carton of milk or other dairy
product to the city and state where it was produced.
