    Abstract: A manipulating apparatus (10) receives a plurality of previously frozen pieces of foodstuffs or workpieces (23) and physically manipulates or stresses the workpieces while they remain in a frozen state. The physical manipulation causes relative movement between various points within the volume of the workpieces (23) and kills microbes within the foodstuff. One preferred manipulating apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart, ridged rollers (24,25). The rollers (24,25) have a minimum clearance less than an initial thickness of the workpieces (23). A drive arrangement (30) drives the rollers (24,25) in counter-rotating fashion toward each other to pull workpieces (23) through the minimum clearance area. As the workpieces (23) pass between rollers (24,25), the workpiece material spreads out laterally and bends between opposing ridges (38). This lateral spreading and bending produces relative movement throughout the volume of the workpieces (23).

    Abstract: A process for packaging fresh meat and the fresh meat package having enhanced visual appeal and shelf life stability, the process including the steps of introducing into the meat a treatment solution comprising a lactate buffer salt and a diacetate microbial growth inhibitor, and packaging the meat in a display unit. The display unit can comprise a thermoplastic tray covered by a transparent film, and one or more display units can be packaged in a film wrapped container. The display unit can also comprise a dividable portion of meat enclosed in a barrier bag. The atmosphere within the container can be maintained as a high oxygen atmosphere.

    Abstract: In chilling freshly slaughtered hog carcasses the bleaching effect of a bactericidal spray is eliminated by the use of chlorine dioxide in a concentration sufficient to inhibit the protein synthesis mechanism of bacteria. The concentration required for this purpose, which may be in the range of 5 to 25 parts per million (ppm), is so small that it produces very little if any oxidation; hence the characteristic bleaching effect of chlorine dioxide is avoided. The skin color of carcasses so sprayed is unaffected by the process.
