Milk Congress Leader Opposes Mandatory Pasteurization
Dr. Henry I. Coit of Newark, president of the American Association of Medical Milk Commissioners, argued against compulsory pasteurization as the sole safeguard for milk. He said it should be a temporary expedient and would undermine producer incentives, noting pasteurized bulk milk is less desirable and unsafe if kept beyond 24 hours or above 10 C. He urged broader eradication of bovine tuberculosis rather than urban protection alone.
