Résumé
Contamination of wheat flours with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is a concern for the milling industry. Milling-specific interventions are needed to address this food safety hazard. The objectives for this study were to determine the efficacy of bacteriophage treatment in reducing wheat STEC contamination during tempering, and assess its effects on flour milling and baking quality. Bacteriophage solutions were prepared by mixing sterile water with the bacteriophage treatment at the following levels: 1 × 10
