Lactic acid sprays effectively reduce the

microbial load on both carcasses and subprimal

cuts. Lactic acid decontamination of

subprimals appears to carry through to retail

cuts during display. Because of

recontamination during fabrication, treating

subprimals may be more effective than

treating carcasses. This information will

allow us to identify the most critical control

points at which to employ decontamination

practices designed to reduce the incidence of

pathogenic bacteria and extend shelf life.
