Natural Product Destroys Salmonella During Processing Of Ground Meat, Poultry

Despite recent recalls of fresh ground turkey and chicken due to salmonella contamination, demand for poultry products as a cheaper alterative to beef continues to grow. To provide an effective answer to the threat, Intralytix has developed SalmoFresh, a product whose active ingredients seek out and kill Salmonella, including the Heidelberg, Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Newport, Hadar, Kentucky and Thompson strains. Intralytix, which specializes in natural products that kill foodborne pathogens, says SalmoFresh works well on ground red meat and poultry. The meats are sprayed before grinding, resulting in significantly reduced Salmonella contamination. The FDA has granted SalmoFresh the status of GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).
