Abstract
Samples of fruit and vegetable products were examined for presence of bacteria. A gram-positive, sporogenous, crystalliferous bacterium was isolated from Red Tokay grapes imported from California. This isolate was confirmed to be Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki based on plasmid profiles resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. Although this bacterium is exempt from Canadian food regulation, such residue has been previously reported to pose a potential health hazard for humans.
