The growth of Bacillus cereus is a problem in liver sausage especially when the sausages are stored at high temperatures. Even concentrations of greater than 10(6)/g have been detected. In this study we found that when combining glucono-delta-lactone, sodium erythorbate and citric acid with sodium nitrite and salt the growth of B. cereus could be delayed or totally inhibited.
