I don’t have anything handy that is definitive but in addition to Baldwin, I have read studies from the CDC and the UK equivalent of the FDA and a couple university studies and I think they all had pasteurization starting at 130 or maybe 129 with times in hours/tens of minutes. That doesn’t mean 127 for over 24 hours won’t also work (to kill the bugs), but I haven’t seen a source that says it will either. Just putting the caution out there because once you introduce the vacuum bag and an anaerobic environment, the risk for botulism goes way up.
