Conditions that encourage bacteria growth increase the possibility of toxins in food, risking foodborne pathogens and the potential outbreak of food-borne illnesses such as E-coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. To decrease your risk and improve consumer safety, Hydrite has the expertise in meat intervention chemistry you need. Hydrite’s Intervention Chemistry Program can help to reduce bacteria growth and food safety risk and can help to improve shelf life.
Hydrite is a manufacturer of peracetic acid (PAA) and has established an intervention program for foodborne illness pathogens. The program includes chemistry, chemistry delivery systems, process monitoring and controlling systems with subject matter expertise in the art of meat and poultry processing.
Hydrite offers a COMPLETE Intervention program that includes an extensive line of products, integrated equipment, and best-in-class technical service and support. These benefits include:
Hydrite utilizes a systems-and-solutions approach to all our equipment technologies. A key offering to our customers to create operational efficiency is the delivery of chemicals to application points. The correct application of these chemicals is critical. Hydrite delivery systems are uniquely designed for each customer to ensure optimal performance.
Hydrite uses technology for collecting, analyzing, and documenting concentrations of cleaning, sanitation, and intervention chemstries. Food safety, verification, and validation as well as quality of an applicable finished product are foundational to this creative solution.
All chemistry is measured within a tenth of a fluid ounce via industrial grade flow meters. Full integration equipment is a PLC based platform that ties directly into facility controls network. Plant employees can control and monitor the performance from any HMI in the plant.
Hydrite's intervention program focuses on multi-hurdle intervention processes by applying physical, mechanical, and chemical interventions. This includes utilizing equipment technology to dose chemistry accurately and consistently, based on the application method. Process monitoring equipment catalogs concentration levels both automatically and using manually entered data to provide a detailed analysis of the system's performance for audit purposes.
Users can maintain compliance and quality control by regulating how chemicals are proportioned, monitored, and logged. Detailed usage reports are automatically generated and can be emailed on a regular frequency. Additionally, systems offer real-time PLC access to reports and dashboards, highlighting relevant chemistry parameters and specifications.
The RITE Team
The effect of Hydrite PAA treatments on the populations of non-pathogenic Escherichia coli surrogates on pig carcasses. The study was conducted at Iowa State University under the direction of Department of Animal Science professor, Dr. James Dickinson, and tested the effect of Hydrite Hydrishield PA 22 HP treatments on non-pathogenic E. coli surrogate inoculum on pig carcasses. Results showing Hydrite Hydrishield PA 22 HP reduced the E. coli population by an average of 1.32 logs.
