Growth and survival of Clostridium botulinum type E in pasturized oysters

The risk of toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type E in pasteurized oysters was evaluated. Thermal death time studies for type E spores in a oyster homogenate showed that the spores survived pasteurization at 550 C; D-values ranged from 65 to 100 min at 700 C and 880 to 1300 min at 550 C.
