  Unless coffee is too acidic this is one instance where mentioning botulism might actually be justified

    I thought botulism thrived in room-temp anaerobic environments? If theyre constantly opening and refreshing thier cold brew coffee and keeping it in the fridge then i dont think botulism is much of a risk.

  Listeria survives well in a cold, wet environment so I would say it was spot on.

  Thank god , I was worried there was something I’d missed on cold brew coffee and I should be bleaching more things between runs

  The thing I remember listeria getting into for my food manager safety cert was underheated nacho cheese and deli meats!

  I am confused. You are not the OP?

  I ran a microbiology lab that specifically tested for food borne illness causing bacteria.

  Here’s a very recent attempt to assess the safety of cold brew coffee coming out of UGA. newswire.caes.uga.edu/…/cold-brew-coffee.html

  These findings line up with earlier work such as this paper doing a general analysis of cold brew coffee and this Canadian government report on detected food borne pathogens in cold brew coffee..

  The consensus I’m seeing is that cold brew coffee, especially when kept cold, is not a great environment for most food borne illness causing pathogens to thrive. Bacillus cereus and potentially botulism would have been more accurate choices.

  Well I have had it 3 times (Caramel apples, Hummus, Ice Cream)

  And I think I made that face each time sooo… Yeah I think it works.
