> refrigeration should reduce the incidence of food poisoning According to the paper, the implicated Yersinia are able to survive the cold at refrigeration temperatures and in vacuum packaging. Due to longer storage times and reduced competition, the bacteria are able to proliferate. In the genetically susceptible, they trigger an "exacerbated inflammatory response". Interesting, the paper also posits mutations in descendants of those who survived the genetically close black plague causing bacteria might cause them to be susceptible.
