Positive results were detected in two batches of pollock milt from a producer in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, two batches of different types of onigiri, and two batches of cooked sausages from a Primorsky producer. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most dangerous microorganisms, capable of causing serious food poisoning and illness.
