It has been estimated that dairy products contribute 9% of total calories to the U.S. food supply and that these dairy foods supply Americans with significant amounts of minerals (73% of calcium, 33% of phosphorus, 16% of magnesium), vitamins (17% of vitamin A, 6% of vitamin Bl, 31% of vitamin B2,10% of vitamin B6, 21% of vitamin B12) and 19% of protein. Milk and dairy products also continue to play a significant role in the diets of Canadians and their safety and quality need to be assured. There are also indications that the consumption of dairy products is influenced by perceived health effects. This is illustrated by the trend towards consumption of low fat products as people have become concerned about the "obesity pandemic". It is important that the dairy industry in Canada remain cognizant of the health benefits and impacts of the products that they produce and to actively pursue the introduction of novel, "healthy" and safe dairy foods so that it can remain competitive in an increasingly global marketplace. The research outlined in this proposal is aimed at fulfilling these goals. To achieve this objective, a program of research aimed at providing industry with i) an insight into the mechanisms whereby spoilage and pathogenic organisms survive in dairy products and adapt to farm/dairy plant environments; ii) the tools for their detection; iii) the means for their elimination; and iv) novel products produced using food grade microorganisms are proposed.

据估计，乳制品占美国食品供应总热量的9%，这些乳制品为美国人提供了大量的矿物质（73%的钙，33%的磷，16%的镁），维生素（维生素A 17%，维生素B1 6%，维生素B2 31%，维生素B6 10%，维生素B12 21%）和蛋白质19%。牛奶和奶制品也继续在加拿大人的饮食中发挥重要作用，其安全和质量需要得到保证。也有迹象表明，乳制品的消费受到感知健康影响的影响。随着人们对“肥胖流行病”的关注，消费低脂产品的趋势就说明了这一点。重要的是，加拿大的乳制品行业仍然认识到他们生产的产品的健康益处和影响，并积极寻求推出新颖，“健康”和安全的乳制品食品，以便在日益全球化的市场中保持竞争力。本提案中概述的研究旨在实现这些目标。为了实现这一目标，提出了一项研究计划，旨在为工业界提供：i）深入了解腐败和致病微生物在乳制品中生存并适应农场/乳制品工厂环境的机制; ii）检测工具; iii）消除方法; iv）使用食品级微生物生产的新产品。
