Bacillus cereus in milk and milk products,
13-14 October 1992, Ede, the Netherlands.
Bacillus cereus is present in raw milk and its spores are able to survive pasteurization. The organism develops rapidly and therefore determines the keeping quality of milk and milk products. The aims of the seminar are to review past and current research on the topic, examine the need for future research and discuss regulation requirements. The scientific programme consists of seminars on the ecology and physiology of B. cereus; pathogenicity and toxicology of B. cereus; and industrial importance and strategies for control of B. cereus.
