Studies have shown that if this procedure is followed, the added salt and acids produced by the added bacterial cultures prevent harmful listeria, salmonella and E. coli bacteria from growing. The risk that remains is very small but not zero.</p> Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:48:03 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 2225 at /oss
