The growth of Clostridium botulinum and the formation of enterotoxin in carbohydrate food products, such as honey, is inhibited by adding to the carbohydrate food products an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of hypophosphorous acid and its nontoxic water-soluble salts. Such additives may be present in combination with minor amounts, for example 40 ppm, of sodium nitrite.
