Abstract In an age of flexible conditions about mandatory milk pasteurisation, this opinion-based research reflection supports the view that the knowledge and the awareness of milk-borne infections are key requirements to decrease the risks associated with raw milk. Providing an analysis of the current potential risks related to consumption of raw milk and raw milk products, we discuss the main reasons to continue to be vigilant about milk-borne pathogens and the current scenario in relation to the formal and clandestine sale of raw milk. Finally, we select some highly effective strategies to reduce the risks associated with raw milk in food services. Regardless of whether a country regulation allows or prohibits the trade of raw milk and its products, this is not the time to be negligent.

AbstractThe Southeast is a net importer of milk and milk products. Milk must be imported from other regions at certain times of the year. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a new processing technology which could significantly reduce milk transportation costs between regions by removing half the water from raw milk prior to shipment. A network flow algorithm, which incorporates federal milk orders and solves for the least cost procurement pattern, was used to assess the impact of RO on southeast milk marketing orders under alternative raw product pricing scenarios.

This study determined the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk and milk products in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. A total of 180 samples comprising of fresh raw milk, bulk milk, Nono, and Kindirmo were collected over a period of 6 months. Standard microbiological procedures were employed in the isolation, identification, characterization and determination of the antibiogram of S. aureus from the milk samples. Characterization was achieved by morphological, biochemical characteristics using conventional methods and Microgen® STAPH-ID kits. The isolates were tested for susceptibility or resistance to a panel of 11 commonly used antibiotics using the agar disc diffusion technique. Out of the 180 milk samples examined, nine (9) S. aureus were isolated giving a prevalence of 5.0%. The occurrence of S. aureus was higher in Nono (12.1%) and Kindirmo (10.6%) than in fresh raw milk (5.9%). The kind of water (well water) used for cleaning utensils at the Nono and Kindirmo selling points was found to be a risk factor associated with the occurrence of S. aureus in the products. All of the isolates were resistant to cefoxitin (100%), ampicillin (100%), and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (100%). The isolates displayed various rates of resistance to erythromycin (22.2%), sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim (22.2%), and tetracycline (44.4%). Five (5) antibiotic resistance patterns were recorded among the isolates an indication of different levels of use and misuse of antibiotics in the areas studied. The detection of Staphylococcus aureus in fresh and fermented milk in the areas studied suggests that consumption of dairy products especially those produced using traditional methods, constitute a hazard to consumers. It is recommended that since compliance with basic hygiene requirements is not guaranteed, hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) concepts should be seen as a part of an effective total hygiene concept at the selling points.

The aim of this study was to monitor <I>S. aureus</I> growth and toxin production in soft cheese during the technological processing. In model experiments, raw milk was inoculated separately with five <I>S. aureus</I> strains isolated from milk and milk products. All the strains were producers of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) of types A, B, or C. SEs were detected by the enzyme-linked fluorescence assay (ELFA) performed in the MiniVIDAS device. This study has shown that the amount of SEs varied with the tested strains and stages of the technological process. SEs were detected in soft cheese made from pasteurised milk inoculated with 2.9 × 10<sup>5</sup> CFU/g of <I>S. aureus</I>. The prevention of <I>S. aureus</I> contamination and multiplication during the cheese making process is a prerequisite for the production of safe soft cheese. The most important enterotoxin dose build-up factor can be overcome by strict compliance with the cooling requirements during the manufacture, distribution and storage of the product.

The work has been designed to investigate the utilization of milk for consumption of fluid milk and milk products, their distribution pattern, pricing, shelf life and consumer’s preference of Mymensingh municipality in Bangladesh. The study was based on milk and milk products and data were collected from the selected sweetmeat shops by direct interview, of which 20 samples were collected from sweetmeat shops and 7 from goalas. Both tabular and statistical methods were used for collected data analysis. Shopkeepers of different sweetmeat shops received raw milk from farmers (52.6%) and goalas (47.4%) and the highest amount of whole milk was required in per unit production of rasomalai (21%) and ghee (18%) whereas the lowest amount in chomchom (9%). Milk products prices were not remained same throughout the year in this municipality due to fluctuation of raw milk availability and their price. Eid, Puja festivals and other educational activities results that may increase milk products selling especially rasogolla and kalojam. Research findings also showed non-significant difference in case of pricing, distribution pattern, shelf life and selling of milk and milk products following sweetmeats.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

Milk is nature's most nearly perfect food and to utilize its nutritive values milk must be free from all pathogenic microorganisms. Pathogenic bacteria present, if any, in raw milk supplies are destroyed by the pasteurization process. Milk and its fluid products, so treated, possess on an average of 7–10 days shelflife, which in modem sophisticated distribution systems, is not adequate. Commercial sterilization in conjunction with aseptic packaging extend the shelflife of milk products to 90+ days. These products, excellent in performance, are not yet popular in the dairy case but, if consistent efforts are continued for their promotion, will win consumer's confidence. Increasing application of the sterilization process in the dairy industry has prompted marketing of numerous types and brands of sterlilizing equipment. Every sterilization operation, due to differences in equipment and range of products manufactured, is faced with various problems in commercial applications of the process. Besides technical problems, label declaration and mode of distribution of these products cause legal complications in many areas of this country. Furthermore, no definition for commercially sterilized milk products aseptically packaged in flexible containers has been officially established by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. Regardless of problems and challenges in commercial application of the sterilization process in the milk industry, potential opportunities in this country for milk products, thus processed, are great.

Purpose – Current study was carried to detect the presence of pathogenic bacteria including the drug-resistant ones from milk and milk products. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Twenty-six raw milk samples from ten different areas, 28 pasteurized milk samples from 12 different companies and 26 yogurt samples from ten different sources in Dhaka city were microbiologically analyzed through cultural and biochemical identification of the isolates. Drug resistance trait was also determined by the Kirby-Bauer method on Muller-Hinton agar. Findings – Out of 80 samples studied, 74 were found to harbor pathogens within a range of 102-104 cfu/ml, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio spp. The study of antibiogram revealed that most of the isolates were resistant against most of the commonly used antibiotics. Research limitations/implications – Employment of only cultural/ biochemical tests excluding the molecular detection of virulence and/or antibiotic resistance genes might stand as a shortfall of the study. Nevertheless, such basic approach of microbiology can make this type of study replicable in the resource poor settings in the other developing countries. Practical implications – Routine detection of drug-resistant bacteria can further unveil the complications in chemotherapy during the endemic food borne diseases. Social implications – The study outcome/knowledge would aid to a better public health management especially in the developing countries. Originality/value – The presence of drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria in most of the tested milk samples poses a great public health threat, especially to the children. Therefore, the study revealed the necessity of maintaining proper hygienic practice and care in handling and processing of milk and milk products.
