OTHER APPLICATIONS
READY TO EAT
Listeria contamination is typically found on the outside of cheese products. Preventive use ensures Listeria is accessible and not vested within the cheese matrix.
Surface ripened washed rinds and white mould cheeses are especially at risk since growing conditions Listeria are ideal and there is a large risk for cross contamination.
CHALLENGE
Listeria is the biggest microbial threat to the cheese industry. Small contaminations may remain undetected during the early stages of cheese making, but can grow to high numbers as the pH rises and the cheese is handled and ripened. This can lead to costly and dangerous outbreaks of Listeria in cheeses made from raw milk or pasteurized milk.
