Results of the Escherichia coli colony count in mixture (sheep and goat) fresh cheese, expressed as CFU per g of fresh cheese (CFU/g fresh cheese). An Escherichia coli colony count was carried out on mixture fresh cheese produced on the day (Sheep and Goat Fresh Cheese). Furthermore, the cheese was wrapped with the edible active film (Sheep and Goat Fresh Cheese (Active)) and with the control film (Sheep and Goat Fresh Cheese (Blank)) and stored at 5 °C in order to simulate standard storage conditions. After one week of storage at refrigerated temperatures, an Escherichia coli colony count was carried out.
