Abstract

Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming aerobic bacteria that offers a serious public health threat due to its extensive dispersal in the environment, particularly in milk and dairy milk products and its ability to generate toxins. Pasteurization is insufficient for total elimination of B. cereus in milk due to low-temperature sterilization for a short period of time, resulting in substantial economic loss and food safety issues. Two types of food poisoning caused by B .cereus diarrheal and emetic syndromes as well as a various other systemic and local disease. The purpose of this review is to provide information on the incidence of B. cereus in raw, pasteurized milk and infant formula milk. Bacillus cereus, as a causal agent of food poisoning, and it’s its consequence on human health should be given special attention. To prevent the contamination of B. cereus in food and milk sample strict pasteurization and storage procedures should be followed.
