Abstract

Disclosed is a method for improving decontamination in meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetable processing using a combination of acid(s) and peroxy compound(s). The method comprises a “stacked” approach, sequentially adding the acid(s) and peroxy compound(s) to an aqueous stream to provide a point-of-use low-pH antimicrobial composition that is highly effective for decontamination of food products, as well as safer for use in a processing facility.
