Oil-based Systems Show Promise for Eradicating Salmonella on Food Production Machinery
Recent outbreaks of food-borne Salmonella have been associated with chocolate and peanut butter. Although Salmonella cannot grow in either of these low-water foods, the cells survive, becoming more resistant to heat treatment, which has contributed to recent outbreaks. New research published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology suggests that oil formulations with food-grade organic acids can kill dried Salmonella on stainless steel surfaces. “Cleaning and sanitation of … [Read more...] about Oil-based Systems Show Promise for Eradicating Salmonella on Food Production Machinery
