^aThe raw milk samples collected between 2017 and 2020 have been pasteurised at laboratory scale using 63°C ± 0.5°C for 30 min.

^bSamples of pasteurised milk taken from retail stores.

^cThese data are from routine samples and may contain samples that were not correctly pasteurised.

^dSamples have been pasteurised but the conditions used are unknown.
