“…Cheeses made under these conditions may not have the minimum hygiene and sanitary standards necessary to obtain consistent product quality (Emaldi, 1996). Most reports of processing of goats' milk do not include pasteurisation (Loewenstein, Speck, Barnhart, & Frank, 1980;Emaldi, 1996;Klinger & Rosenthal, 1997). The consumption of cheese made from unpasteurised goats' milk has been identified as the cause of epidemics of brucellosis (Loewenstein et al, 1980;Thapar & Young, 1986;Wallach et al, 1994), listeriosis (De Buyser, Dufour, Maire, & Lafarge, 2001) and food poisoning due to enterotoxin production by staphylococci (De Buyser, Dilasser, Hummel, & Bergdoll, 1987;Parente & Mazzatura, 1991;De Buyser et al, 2001).…”
