Milk – Borne Pathogens And Pasteurization Practice Test

What did the swill milk scandal produce?

A lumpy curdled milk A spoiled sour milk A yellowish, watery milk thickened with flour, eggs, and chalk A clean, white milk

Correct Answer:

A yellowish, watery milk thickened with flour, eggs, and chalk

Explanation:

The swill milk scandal is about adulterated milk. Producers, using cheap distillery by-products and diluted milk, added substances to disguise poor quality and boost quantity. Flour was used to thicken, chalk to whiten, and even eggs were added to alter texture and richness, resulting in a yellowish, watery milk that wasn’t truly milk. This description matches the option that describes yellowish, watery milk thickened with flour, eggs, and chalk. The other descriptions reflect spoiled or natural milk, not the deliberate adulteration practiced in the scandal.
