Abstract
The objective of this study was to gather data on the incidence of
Clostridium botulinum
spores in selected consumer-convenience food products. The incidence of spores of
C. botulinum
in 100 samples of each of four categories of commercially available convenience foods was determined. These categories included (i) “boil-in-the-bag” foods, (ii) vacuum-packed foods, (iii) pressurized foods, and (iv) dehydrated and freeze-dried foods. Of the 400 samples analyzed, one was found to contain the spores of
C. botulinum
. This occurred in vacuum-packed frank-furters and was identified as type B.
