Products of goat milk origin (pasteurized, UHT milk and cheeses) were examined for alkaline phosphatase activity and microbiological quality.
Most of the samples had an alkaline phosphatase activity below 350 mU/L (milk) and 10 mU/g (cheese).
Several products were contaminated with Enterobacteriaceae and Escherichia coli whereas Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus were not present.
The results indicate that products from heated goat milk were safe for consumers.
