chosen: Cured ham was traditionally infected with the Bacillus coli species of bacteria in order to produce a unique flavor during its curing process. This process has been done for centuries and is not considered a threat to human health, but instead adds a unique flavor. The Bacillus coli bacteria can cause food poisoning if allowed to grow at temperatures that are conducive to growth. Therefore, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines require that processed cured meats be processed at temperatures that are inhibitory to the growth of bacteria, ensuring that consumer health is not a threat.
