principles. Provided this strategy is followed, antimicrobial treatments
can constitute a useful element in further improving the microbiological
status of carcasses (Del Río et al., 2007a). At slaughtering plants in North
America it is a normal practice to submit redmeat and poultry carcasses
to a variety of decontamination procedures. In the European Union, carcass
decontaminationwith substances other than potablewater has not
been permitted since 1971 (Directive 71/118/EC). However, Regulation
(EC) No. 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying
down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (OJEC, 2004),
which took effect from1 January 2006, provides a legal basis for permitting
the use of antimicrobials to remove microbial surface contamination
from products of animal origin. Approval of these substances will
depend on a thorough evaluation of all the risks to Public Health involved
in their use, according to a guidance document developed by
the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA, 2010).
