Abstract
Salmonella organisms have been isolated from 28 of 380 samples of Canadian dried egg powder. Nine types were found: S. bareilly, S. pullorum, S. oranienburg, S. typhi-murium, S. thompson, S. minnesota, S. newport, S. manhattan, and S. potsdam. In the first grade powder Salmonella organisms were found more frequently during the warm months. A greater percentage of second grade powder was contaminated than of first grade. The number of organisms was usually small. Of 21 samples on which Salmonella counts were made, 13 contained less than one organism per gram, seven between one and 10, and one, 54 per gram. In two carlots the distribution of Salmonella organisms was irregular.
