Study: Safety of Raw Milk Could Be Impacted by Climate Change
A new study posits that climate change occurring in Europe could impact the microbiological quality of raw milk.
The study used a probabilistic model to quantify the concentration of Escherichia coli in raw milk and used that data to predict what might happen to raw milk supplies in France under climate change conditions. It included four modules: initial contamination, packaging, retailing, and consumer refrigeration.
