=== Diagnosis ===

In case of [[foodborne illness]], the diagnosis of ''B.&nbsp;cereus'' can be confirmed by the isolation of more than 100,000 ''B.&nbsp;cereus'' organisms per gram from epidemiologically implicated food, but such testing is often not done because the illness is relatively harmless and usually self-limiting.<ref name="cdc">{{cite journal|url=https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/wk/mm4310.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/wk/mm4310.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|title=''Bacillus cereus'' food poisoning associated with fried rice at two child day care centers|journal=Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report|publisher=[[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]|date=18 March 1994|volume=43|issue=10}}</ref>
