"Control of Pathogens in Cheeses made from Unpasteurised Milk: A Literature Review"
Notice Description
The aim of this project is to collate evidence on effective controlling factors that can be utilised during the cheesemaking process, particularly with respect to competing microflora, to support predictive modelling and validation of the food business operators processes to contribute to the delivery of FSS's strategy aimed at reducing the incidence of foodborne illness in Scotland.

Aims/Objectives The aim of this project is to collate evidence on effective controlling factors that can be utilised during the cheesemaking process, particularly with respect to competing microflora, to support predictive modelling and validation of the food business operators processes to contribute to the delivery of FSS's strategy aimed at reducing the incidence of foodborne illness in Scotland. The objective of this work is to complete a literature review encompassing these three areas: 1. Categorisation of cheese types commonly produced in the UK (e.g. using Codex criteria) and an analysis of which CCPs might be used at various stages of the production of such cheese types. This will through the completion of a systematic review of scientific literature on the control of pathogens in cheeses made from unpasteurised milk, which may be supported by industry captured data. The output of this should include a summary table detailing which CCPs may be used for different cheeses types and the evidence to support those CCPs. Technical expertise should be sought from an appropriate person with practical experience of dairy technology to verify the cheesemaking procedures used in the research studies reviewed. This analysis should also examine and compare the different methods used to measure the physicochemical properties of cheese (for example pH/titratable acidity, and Aw/salt in moisture) with recommendations for their suitability and application at different stages of the cheesemaking process. 2. An analysis of currently available predictive modelling and challenge testing methods that are applicable to cheesemakers, for example detailing which methods may be more relevant for application to a foodstuff in which competitive microflora are present. This will enable future recommendations to be made regarding the most suitable methods for individual cheesemakers. 3. An analysis of historical microbiological and physicochemical results obtained from cheesemakers undertaking sampling in their products (for example using data collected by the SCA and that found in the scientific literature). This data will be used to examine trends of microorganisms throughout the cheesemaking process and inform standardisation of trends (for example in the definition of an upward trend or spike).
