This medium is formulated based on Mossel’s method to detect and enumerate Bacillus cereus in various types of food. It is both selective and differential. Counting B. cereus is crucial, as levels exceeding 100,000 cells per gram of food can pose health risks, especially to children. This medium is ideal for accurate and reliable food microbiology testing.
