Concerns about possible transmission to people drinking unpasteurized milk are being talked about a lot. Apparently they fed mice unpasteurized milk, and they got the virus, but it seems like the temperature required to kill. The virus is higher than what they used to sterilize the milk. How is this safe?
In: Biology
Bulk pasteurization goes to 145F and is held for several minutes. However, hardly anyone uses bulk pasteurization. Dairies use HTST, high temperature short time pasteurization. This goes to 165f and holds for 15 seconds.pasteurization kills pathogens. It does not sterilize the milk.
