Raw-milk cheeses: What are the associated health risks and what preventive measures can be taken? | Anses - Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail

Salmonella, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes – a wide range of bacteria can be found in the raw-milk cheeses and other raw-milk dairy products we consume. These are sometimes involved in cases of food poisoning, leading them to be recalled or withdrawn from the market. In order to further improve the control of these risks, ANSES has identified the types of raw-milk cheeses on which efforts should focus as a priority.
