Debi,
I did do a lactnet search and I did come across the reference for the
article. I was hoping to find out if further information existed. Since
processing standards were changed prior to testing, how much can you
trust that the standards haven't changed again. And even so, why is it
that cases of botulism associated with karo syrup still being reported.
Thank you for responding.
