Measures in dairy farms are necessary to reduce microbiological risks that may impact animal health and may be passed on to humans through the consumption of contaminated dairy products. However, these additional controls should incur lower environmental impact, have a low cost of implementation, minimal impact on milk property, and sufficient effectiveness to control risks. This study selected a dairy farm located under hot weather conditions to demonstrate how these challenges may be considered. Our objective was to present how a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) could be used to select the appropriate mitigation strategy for this farm among fifteen potential food safety measures.</p><p>The MCDA framework brought together ten criteria classified into four supra criteria: stakeholder acceptance, food safety effectiveness, environmental impact, and impact on milk properties. The relative performances of various food safety measures scored against the ten criteria were expressed either in qualitative or quantitative values.

It was found that none of these dominated the others on the ten criteria. However, MCDA has allowed the determination of the best compromise among the selected measures. It was found that an increase in the frequency of changing the sand bedding ranked first, and an increase in the operation of cooling misters was ranked last.</p><p>The study demonstrated the benefit of MCDA in combining criteria of different nature (stakeholder acceptance, food safety effectiveness, environmental impact, milk properties), values, and scales to prioritize food safety measures.

A previously published growth boundary model, based on an ‘interaction term’, was extended by the integration of new environmental factors. Further development has been made by replacing, wherever possible, the single values for strain-dependent parameters by statistical distributions, making it possible to describe the intra-group variability in <em>B. cereus s.l.</em> behaviour. The parameters associated with organic acid (i.e., the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations, MIC) were determined for one strain for lactic acid and three strains for acetic acid. The MICs estimated were close to previously published values for mesophilic reference group III strain F4810/72. The growth/ no growth interface for psychrotrophic <em>B. cereus s.l.</em> in absence of organic acid was defined by the lower growth limits obtained separately for “groups II and V” and “group VI”. The model predictions for the transition between the “no-growth only” and “possible growth” provide fail-safe predictions for ComBase and literature data (468 records). To investigate behaviour of psychrotrophic <em>B. cereus s.l.</em> under organic acid, growth/ no growth data were generated at 15 °C (simulating mild temperature abuse) for three <em>B. cereus s.l.</em> strains (one from group II and two from group VI) at different pH levels (between 4.8 and 6.2), water activities (between 0.974 and 0.997) and concentrations of acetic acid (up to 45 mM) or lactic acid (up to 100 mM). Each of the three strains was studied separately for a total of 312 experiments. The minimum pH levels required for growth increase in the presence of lactic or acetic acid, highlighting their inhibitory effects. These inhibitory effects are enhanced at the lowest water activity tested. Although, group VI strains were reported to be more affected by low a_w, only small differences were observed between group II and group VI at a_w 0.974. The developed model was found to provide conservative (i.e. fail-safe) predictions for the growth limits under acetic or lactic acid at 15 °C.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48593,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Risk Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141240377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
