Abstract
A total of 240 samples of smoked fish products, including salmon, sturgeon, black cod, and others, produced by 28 small processors in the Pacific Northwest, were purchased from retail outlets and examined culturally for the presence of Clostridium botulinum. The culture filtrates from 47 of the samples (19.6%) were toxic to mice and in 11 samples (4.6%) type E botulinal toxin was identified by means of specific antitoxin. No other type of botulinal toxin was found. Pure cultures of the organism were isolated from three samples.
