PASTEURISED MILK
Sir.—Much has been said and written about raw and pasteurised milk, but tbe secret of how to produce pure milk jOf good quality for human consumption is the problem facing the Health and Dairy Departments today. ' A great deal has been done to improve insanitary conditions by sterilisation in dairy factory and treating station, and by testing of herds. Nothing, however, can be done about sterilisation of the ru .7, ber tubes through which the warm milk passes and in which contamination readily begins in the early stages of production. Bacteria act quickly in the warm milk before it reaches coolers. Caustic soda and water are the only means of cleaning them. A test to recondition these rubbers, owing to short supplies during the war, proved that they contained 45 per cent butterfat. Stainless metal that can be sterilised is the only solution to this great international problem.—Yours, etc., HYGIENIC PRODUCTION. Ashburton, March 24, 1954.
