abstract:
Apart from an ubiquitous microflora, this investigation into 52 samples of honey revealed some undesirable
spore-forming bacteria,Bacillus alveiandB. larvaewhich are bee pathogens.Bacillus cereuscan cause
spoilage and food poisoning.
It is, therefore, considered essential that every country includes microbiological standards in its Food Safety
Regulations for honey, so that the consumer is guaranteed as to the wholesomeness as well as the quality
of the product.
