What food poisoning bacteria produces a toxin which is heat stable and not destroyed by cooking?
The food poisoning bacteria that produce a heat-stable toxin are Staphylococcus aureus. This bacterium can contaminate food and, when ingested, its toxin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Even thorough cooking may not eliminate the toxin, making it particularly dangerous in improperly stored or handled foods. Common sources include dairy products, meats, and salads that have been left out at room temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What is prevented by cooking to a certain temperature?
Bacteria contamination and growth which can lead to food poisoning can be eliminated (or reduced)by cooking at the proper temperature for that food.
Can toxins and pathogenic be destroyed by freezing and cooking?
