JOHN MORRELL & CO.: ELIMINATED USE OF<br />
LACTATES/DIACETATES<br />
John Morrell & <strong>Co</strong>., a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, Inc., is<br />
the largest vertically integrated producer of processed meat<br />
and fresh pork in the United States. <strong>Co</strong>ncerned about the flavor<br />
of certain hams containing lactates/diacetates, the company<br />
opted to treat them externally with lauric arginate using<br />
an AutoJet ® Antimicrobial Spray System.<br />
The results are impressive.<br />
• Improved product flavor<br />
• 1 to 2 log kill against Listeria monocytogenes<br />
• The process is even more efficacious on products that<br />
include other <strong>antimicrobial</strong>s, such as a cured product containing<br />
nitrite<br />
• Product labels are clean<br />
NORTH COUNTRY SMOKEHOUSE:<br />
40% INCREASE IN SHELF LIFE, ALT-2 STATUS<br />
ACHIEVED<br />
North <strong>Co</strong>untry Smokehouse, a family-run smokehouse, has<br />
been using the system on a wide variety of meat products.<br />
The results include:<br />
• An increase in product shelf life to 70 days from 45 to 50 – a<br />
40% increase<br />
• Achievement of ALT-2 status at a cost of $0.015 per pound<br />
on products using a lauric arginate and liquid smoke flavor<br />
<strong>antimicrobial</strong><br />
• Typical log reductions range from 2.3 for hams to 4.0 for<br />
kielbasa<br />
• Clean label on products maintained – lauric arginate is a<br />
bacteriocide that is also considered a processing aid and<br />
does not need to be labeled at the levels being used<br />
