The Need for Nisin in Low-Acid Canned Foods for the Australian Defence Forces

Abstract

The need to add nisin a non-clinical antibiotic, to low- acid, ration pack canned foods, which may be stored at high temperatures under operational conditions was examined. The trial showed that thermophilic spoilage was unlikely to occur in low-acid canned foods stored in the field in accordance with Service recommendations. It was concluded that the addition of nisin is not justified unless it is known that the canned foods are likely to be stored at temperatures above 40 C. (AW)
