Summary

Nine ice cream sample containers, representing three production lots involved in a 1994 outbreak of salmonellosis, were obtained from the manufacturer's distribution warehouse and from consumers. Single 100 gram samples from each container were tested initially, with analyses beginning seven weeks after the ice cream was produced. Quantitative Salmonella analysis of these samples was performed. Results show that on the consumption of a single sundae cone (73 grammes prepackaged), which caused severe illness in an eight-year-old boy and moderate to mild illness in the adult parents, the infective dose would appear to be more than 28 cells.
