The effectiveness of decontamination systems for controlling the presence of pathogens and spoilage organisms on carcasses is discussed. Research using organic acids and water (hot or cold) demonstrates the general effectiveness of such treatments in lowering the aerobic plate counts (APC) on carcasses by 1–3 log10 cfu per unit area. Chlorine has been found to be relatively ineffective for use in animal carcass spray washers. An example of direct application of the bacteriocin nisin to inoculated tissue in a spray washer is discussed. Reductions attributable to nisin were 2–2.5 log10 cfu per unit area higher than those reported for various organic acids or water. Areas for further research are highlighted along with the potential use of newer technologies to elucidate attachment and detachment mechanisms of bacteria to meat animal carcasses.
