Research – Efficacy of organic acids, lactic and formic acid, and peracetic acid in decontaminating process water and carcasses in chicken slaughter

Posted on August 23, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Wiley Online

Abstract

Foodborne pathogens pose a persistent threat in broiler chicken production, particularly during the slaughter process, where contamination with zoonotic pathogens remains a concern. This study focuses on the potential of organic acids, such as formic and lactic acid, and the oxidizing agent peracetic acid, to decontaminate scalding water and enhance the hygiene of chicken carcasses. We conducted suspension tests introducing various organic loads to mirror the conditions of practical scalding water. Additionally, the surface tests were performed on chicken skin. Both methods were further tested in an experimental slaughtering facility. In suspension tests, the organic acids achieved impressive decontamination, with a 5-log10 reduction of the test organisms Enterococcus hirae, Salmonella Typhimurium and Campylobacter jejuni at minimal concentrations (between 0.04% and 2% for formic acid; between 0.1% and 4.5% for lactic acid). Peracetic acid also effectively sanitized model water and chicken skin, even when used in low concentrations (between 0.001% and 0.1%), both in the laboratory-based testing and in the experimental slaughtering facility. These results suggest that the tested disinfectants can effectively sanitize process water, even under conditions mimicking practical scalding water with organic matter. Peracetic acid, in particular, proved highly effective in improving chicken skin hygiene even at low concentrations.

USA – What is the Most Common Source of Food Poisoning in the United States of America?

Posted on August 17, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poisoning News

According to salmonella lawyer Ron Simon, interviewed for this article, about one-in-six Americans will contract food poisoning this year alone. Simon notes that some of the victims will become sick for as little as a few days, while others will suffer catastrophic illness, including death. This is backed up by the CDC which admits that 48 million Americans get sick in an average year from food poisoning, and  about 128 thousand of those require hospitalization.  Of those, about 3000 die each year.  According to Simon, who represents one of those who died in the very recent Boar’s Head deli meat Listeria outbreak, food poisoning is a serious concern and one public health experts and food producers need to pay attention to.
