Consumers complain about spoilage due to bacterial growth and spoilage also contributes to dairy product waste, which in a developing country we cannot really afford. We probably do not have figures in South Africa, but milk spoilage in the US amounts to $6.4 billion per year. Microbial spoilage is of particular concern and can be caused by either psychrotolerant spore formers, which likely originate from raw milk, or by post-pasteurization contamination (PPC). |
