Pasteurization Methods Highlight Milk Safety
A Pasteurization process named after Louis Pasteur heats every milk particle to at least 142 F for 30 minutes or more and cools promptly to 50 F or lower to kill bacteria without harming flavor. A faster method heats to 160 F for at least 16 seconds then cools quickly. Chicago enacted the first compulsory pasteurization law in 1908. The U S Public Health Service asserts pasteurization is universally endorsed and essential to preventing milk borne disease. 88 percent of U S city milk supplies are pasteurized.
