the final contamination level of S. aureus in milk in dairy processing
and direct to consumer routes occurred mainly due to the sequence
and intensity of heat processing, and to the storage time and
temperature at factory, retail and home.
As shown in Fig. 4, the expected probability of milk with the
contamination levels at the time of consumption greater than
105 CFU/mL was 0. The results show that the health risk caused by
the consumption of S. aureus contaminated milk given all the assumptions
outlined above is not high.

The probability distribution of enterotoxin production rate of
S. aureus in dairy processing route is 0 while in case of the direct to
