Abstract:
1. A method of providing microbiological control in poultry processing, which method comprises disinfecting with a halogen-based microbiocide A) carcasses and/or other parts of poultry resulting from such processing, and B) at least one of (1), (2), (3), (4), where (1), (2), (3), (4) are wherein said halogen-based microbiocide is (I) an aqueous microbiocidal solution of one or more active halogen species, which solution is a derivative product in an aqueous medium of (a) bromine, chlorine, or bromine chloride, or any two or all three thereof, and (b) a water-soluble source of sulfamate anion; or (II) an aqueous microbiocidal solution of one or more active halogen species, which solution is a derivative product in an aqueous medium of at least one 1,3-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which one of the halogen atoms is a chlorine atom and the other is a chlorine or bromine atom, and in which each of the alkyl groups, independently, contains in the range of 1 to about 4 carbon atoms; or (III) an aqueous microbiocidal solution of one or more active halogen species, which solution is a derivative product in an aqueous medium of at least one 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which one of the alkyl groups is a methyl group and the other alkyl group contains in the range of 1 to about 4 carbon atoms; or (IV) any two or more of (I), (II), and (III).
