Double Hurdle

A heteroscedastic double-hurdle model is used to investigate household butter consumption in the United States. Results suggest that failure to incorporate heteroscedastic errors may lead to unreliable elasticity estimates. Decomposition of the effects of variables leads to insightful information and makes the double-hurdle model a more useful tool in micro demand analysis. Larger and higher-income households are more likely to consume butter than others and also consume more, but income elasticity is very small. Age, region, and seasonality are among the other significant determinants of household butter consumption.

Fluid Milk

A comprehensive survey was undertaken to generate contemporary data on the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in pasteurized fluid milk produced in the United States. Samples (5,519) near the sell-by expiration date were purchased at retail outlets over a 5-week period and analyzed for presence of L. monocytogenes. Products consisted of whole milk, nonfat milk, and chocolate milk packaged in gallon, half gallon, quart, pint, and half-pint containers. Samples were collected from both large and small retail stores in urban and suburban locations in four FoodNet cities (Baltimore, Md., Atlanta, Ga., St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minn., and San Francisco, Calif.). Samples were prescreened for L. monocytogenes by the AOAC-approved rapid Vitek immunodiagnostic assay system, enzyme-linked fluorescent assay method. Positive prescreening samples were cultured according to the Bacteriological Analytical Manual, enumerated for L. monocytogenes with a nine-tube most-probable-number (MPN) procedure, and confirmed by biochemical characterization. The frequency of isolation of L. monocytogenes in these products was 0% (0 of 1,897) in whole milk, 0.05% (1 of 1,846) in nonfat milk, 0% (0 of 1,669) in chocolate milk, and 0% (0 of 107) in other (reduced fat and low fat) milk samples. Overall, L. monocytogenes was confirmed in only 0.018% of pasteurized milk samples (1 of 5,519). Enumeration of the single confirmed positive nonfat milk sample revealed low-level contamination (<0.3 MPN/g), even when sampled 5 days past the expiration of the sell-by date. The results confirm the low frequency of contamination of pasteurized fluid milk products by L. monocytogenes for products sold in the United States and reaffirm the reduction of contamination frequency of fluid milk by L. monocytogenes when compared with earlier estimates from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Dairy Safety Initiatives Program.

Fluid Milk

THE Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics has strongly endorsed the use of milk and infant formula products as primary vehicles for vitamin D supplementation to ensure a total vitamin D intake of 400 I.U. per day by all infants and children. Although in the United States there are significant regional differences with respect to dairy practices in fortifying fluid milk, almost three-fourths of all whole milk sold at retail is fortified with vitamin D, and almost all evaporated milk and infant formula products contain 400 I. U. of vitamin D per reconstituted quart. In addition, vitamin D is readily available in vitamin supplements, and, undoubtedly as a result of the wide distribution and ready availability of vitamin D, the incidence of infantile rickets in the United States has remained at a very low level. This report draws attention to the lack of vitamin D in nonfat dry milk, a product used in significantly increasing amounts for preparing milk for home use for children, and possibly for infants. The use of nonfat dry milk has been accelerated recently by the increase in prices of fluid milk. For example, in 1965, the last year for which figures are available, consumer sales of nonfat dry milk amounted to 2.5 billion pounds of fluid equivalent, or about 5% of the total national consumption of milk. This total reflects an increase in consumption of almost 70% over the past 10 years. The lack of vitamin D in certain major sources of milk for the population invites the reappearance of rickets.
