Summary

Fresh market cottage cheese samples with and without sorbate were contaminated with L. monocytogenes strain Scott A (1000 colony forming units/gram). Treatment with 3% sodium or calcium lactate did not affect listerial cell numbers. These findings demonstrate that sorbates in cottage cheese are effective as preservatives but not as antilisterials. Persistence of listeriae in cottage cheese emphasizes the need to prevent contamination during manufacturing and storage.
