BOTULISM
An illness caused by eating toxin produced by growth of CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM bacteria in moist, low-acid food, containing less than 2 percent oxygen and stored between 40 degrees and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper heat processing destroys this bacterium in canned food. Freezer temperatures inhibit its growth in frozen food. Low moisture controls its growth in dried food. High oxygen controls its growth in fresh foods. [ Go Back ] Copyright © by Quick and easy recipes -Yummyfood - (201 reads) |
