Re: killing salmonella in almonds chilling
I'm not in the business of cold pasteurisation, but here's a quick quote from ASHRAE refrigeration handbook (2006):
"Freezing is also an effective means of microbial control. Limited
death may occur during freezing, especially during slow freezing of
gram-negative bacteria. However, freezing is not a reliable way to
kill microorganisms. Because no microbial growth occurs in frozen
foods, as long as a product remains well below its freezing point,
microbial safety issues are nonexistent. Frozen foods must be stored
below −18°C for legal and quality reasons.

Re: killing salmonella in almonds chilling
Salmonella is generally associted with chicken, a really good food poisoning bug, particually over summer. Great way to loose weight solong as you don't die in the process. Really uncool if selling to general public. Happened here when a pregnant woman aborted, sued everyone envolved.
Listeria is a similar bug around in summer, very hard to get rid of. Campo is a real killer, fesis related generally water delivered.
Freezing usually only makes them dormant. Cooking for long periods will kill it. No guarantee though. The real problem is handling issues and personal hygiene, toilet training staff, hand washing etc.,Last edited by Magoo; 09-12-2009 at 02:25 AM.
