Abstract
The prevalence of thermotolerant fungi on non-heat-sterilizable food was de
termined. Aspergillus spp. were noted in 100% of pepper and regular tea sam
ples, 12 to 66% of fruits, 27% of herbal teas, and 20% of freeze-dried soup
samples. All soft cheese samples were contaminated by Geotrichum and yeast
(Candida norvegensis) but Candida albicans was never identified.
