The maximum allowed level of LAE in fresh cuts of poultry meat is 200 mg/kg by weight of the finished product (USDA FSIS, 2013b). The characteristics of LAE such as heat stability, immediate effects on pathogens, rapid metabolism in the human body into nontoxic components, and tolerances to a wide range of pH make it an efficient antimicrobial agent (Hawkins et al., 2009; Becerril et al., 2013).
