Abstract
THE heat-treatment, or ‘pasteurization’, of milk before consumption has in the past been the subject of controversy, but as a result of much research and inquiry during the last few years, this measure has come to be generally accepted as the best solution of the several problems presented by the use of raw untreated milk, particularly that of the transmission of infections. Detailed criticism of the application of the pasteurizing process to the general milk supply was, however, formulated by Sir Arnold Wilson in his recent presidential address to the Central Council of Milk Recording Societies of England and Wales last March, and some of the points he raises merit consideration.
