Can UV light reduce pathogen bacteria in meat products?
We have conducted several trials with different types of meat and pathogens.
Click on the links to find details about the experiments.
Main conclusions:
- Pork - in-pack tenderloin:
- Salmonella: No reduction
- Staphylococcus: No reduction
- Listeria: High reduction
- Chicken - in-pack chicken breast: The UV treatment reduced the level of pathogens, but the succeptibility of the pathogens to the treatment differed.
- Salmonella: Less succeptible
- E.coli: More succeptible
- Beef - in-pack topside beef
- Listeria: No reduction
