Women play an important but often unrecognized role in the safe production of milk and milk products, particularly in Ethiopia. Dairy products can be contaminated with biological chemical, and physical hazards. This article reviews literature on the microbiological and/or gendered aspects of milk handling in Ethiopia. Thirty-four articles were reviewed, many of which solely focused on either specific animal and/or foodborne hazards in milk processing or the role of gender in the dairy value chain. Contaminated farm environments put women at higher risk of exposure to milk borne, waterborne, and/or animal borne pathogens. Because of their primary role in animal husbandry, health, and milking, women play a crucial part in ensuring the safety of milk and milk products. To reduce foodborne disease and improve overall family health, there is a need to combine food safety research with gender sensitive interventions in Ethiopia.

妇女在奶和奶制品的安全生产中发挥着重要但往往未被承认的作用，尤其是在埃塞俄比亚。乳制品可能受到生物化学和物理危害的污染。本文回顾了有关埃塞俄比亚牛奶处理的微生物和/或性别方面的文献。审查了 34 篇文章，其中许多仅关注牛奶加工中特定的动物和/或食源性危害或性别在乳制品价值链中的作用。受污染的农场环境使女性更容易接触乳源性、水源性和/或动物源性病原体。由于她们在畜牧业、健康和挤奶方面的主要作用，妇女在确保牛奶和奶制品的安全方面发挥着至关重要的作用。为了减少食源性疾病并改善整体家庭健康，
