pre-chill application in 2004. Cecure’s active ingredient,

consumed in a number of over-the-counter oral hygiene products

Safe Foods Gets Regulatory Clearance For
Use of Cecure in Canadian Facilities Using Air-Chilling
|
North Little Rock, AR – July 13, 2007
Safe
Foods Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Curtis Coleman, announced
today that the company has received a letter of no objection from Health
Canada to begin treating Canadian poultry products with the company’s
Cecure®-brand food safety technology in processing facilities
that employ air-chilling. Air-chilling is the process by which poultry
broilers are chilled with a refrigerated air blast in chill rooms. This
process is used after slaughter in order to retard the growth of
pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in the product. In the U.S.,
immersion chilling is currently the most popular method used, although
U.S. processors are considering air chilling as a viable option due to
European Union trade restrictions on immersion chilled poultry. While
both methods reduce carcass bacteria counts, neither method is
considered currently to be more viable than the other. |
