“…Similar observation was made concerning Clostridium in Morocco [50]. On the other hand some studies indicated the contamination of honey samples by sulfite-reducing anaerobes particularly Clostridium botulinum (between 3 cfu/g and 23 cfu/g) in Cameroon [48], Sweden, Norway, and Denmark [43,57]. The fungal microbial load of the analyzed samples varied from 8.18 × 10 2 to 1.34 × 10 3 cfu/g.…”

“…according to küplülü et al (2006) C. botulinum was isolated from 12.5% of honey samples from retail market in ankara, Turkey. In Finland, spores of C. botulinum were detected in 8 (7%) of the 114 Finnish and in 12 (16%) of the 76 imported honey samples Nevas et al (2002). Our results agree with those obtained by Tysset et al (1970), Piana et al (1991) and Delmas, Vidon and Sebald (1994), in which C. perfringes or C. botulinum was not found in any sample tested.…”

“…The direct loss occurred when the animal is attacked directly, such as when they ingest C. botulinum spores contaminated feed. Indirect losses arose if the spores are found in animal processed products such as sausages or burgers (Shapiro et al, 1998), even in honey (Nevas et al, 2002), which in turn causes the products are no longer economically valuable even banned by the authority. To overcome the problems early prevention is needed.…”
