Chemical specialist Hawkins was at the American Meat Institute (AMI) show in Dallas to demonstrate its latest developments in the fight against bacteria.

According to the company, its e(Lm)inate formula is a new line of “low-inclusion antimicrobial blends”, which includes combinations of organic salts.

The range allows meat processors to reduce the use of antimicrobial treatments by up to 50%, the company claimed.

A spokesman said: “These unique blends offer you the opportunity to reduce your costs, because e(Lm)inate is more effective at much lower levels at suppressing listeria growth.”
