Summary

Bacterial post pasteurization contamination with psychrotrophic Gram-negative rods (GNR) was measured in commercial milks before and after transfer to retail containers. The tanks of pasteurized milk feeding the filling units contaminated milk less often (39% of samples) but usually at a higher level than the filling units (92% of samples). The number of GNR present had a considerable influence on the shelf life of milk, and the range found in commercially pasteurized milk was reflected in a wide range of shelf lives.
