Description

We tested 910 samples of pasteurized goat, sheep, and water buffalo milk cheese for the presence of Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and generic E. coli. Almost all (99.8%) of the samples tested were found to be satisfactory. Overall, our survey results indicate that pasteurized goat, sheep, and water buffalo milk cheese sold in Canada are generally safe for consumption. However, as with all food, and especially those that are ready-to-eat good hygienic practices are recommended for producers, retailers, and consumers.
