Preventing outbreaks of foodborne illness is key to food manufacturers. Dangers can come from microbes that cause foodborne infection – others produce toxins in foods which can be just as dangerous. One of such risks is cereulide toxin produced by Bacillus cereus; we know how to detect and control it.
