Research – Open Access Bacillus cereus Cocktail Secondary Growth Model for the Food Industry

MDPI

Abstract

A cost-effective algorithm is presented, using a virtual dataset of growth rates from a cocktail of Bacillus cereus strains, for developing an open access, extended-range secondary growth model. Extended-range growth models can span the range of processing conditions typically used in food manufacturing and are therefore more relevant for industry. The open access extended-range secondary growth model for a cocktail of B. cereus strains was created using publicly available data, and the methodology can be adapted for modelling growth of other pathogens. An extended-range model can help manage B. cereus hazards in novel food categories with non-traditional formulations as estimations of B. cereus risks in these foods become more precise. This open access model, however, needs to be validated using data from B. cereus strain cocktails isolated from production facilities. Once validated, these independent factor models are valuable tools, in a pathogen decision support platform, which are tuned to local production environments. Such a platform can address the needs of current and future food product portfolios, effectively mitigating risks associated with B. cereus and other relevant pathogens.

Singapore – Recall of Four Seasons Durian’s Mini D24 Durian Mooncake due to exceeding levels of B. cereus

SFA

As part of the Singapore Food Agency (SFA)’s regulatory sampling of mooncakes, it has
detected Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) in Four Seasons Durian’s Mini D24 Durian Mooncake, at levels exceeding the maximum limits stipulated in Singapore’s Food Regulations.

As a precautionary measure, SFA has directed the manufacturer, Four Seasons Durian Pte Ltd, to recall the implicated products. The recall is ongoing.

B. cereus is a bacterium that is normally found in the environment and in the intestinal tracts
of insects and mammals. B. cereus is a common cause of food poisoning and affected individuals may
experience an onset of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhoea.

Consumers who have purchased the implicated products should not consume them. Those
who have consumed the implicated products and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice. Consumers can contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
