New Orleans Milk Bacteria Counts Raise Safety Questions
The New Orleans board of health reported 39 percent of 729 milk samples showed bacteria counts above legal limits. Sanitation Officer Victor St Blanc noted the city uses methylene blue testing, not plate counts, to gauge pasteurization readiness, with color retention indicating safety, while milk loses color much faster at pasteurization stations. Local and state officials agree transport isn’t the issue, but trouble occurs between cooling and pasteurization tests. Readings involve milk from Franklinton and other Louisiana towns plus Magnolia, Mississippi.
