Meat processors have been asking for years for a cost effective solution to kill pathogens on the surface of meat and poultry products. PURAC is pleased to provide a solution through the launch of Protect-M (based on Mirenat^â) – a lauric arginate (LAE) surface treatment. Protect-M is only available and approved for use in the USA.

 

Protect-M is an effective bactericidal solution against:

 

• Salmonella
• E. coli
• Listeria

 

It has no impact on taste and it is cost effective. Protect-M can be used for both cooked and fresh meat up to 0.2% (200ppm of lauric arginate)*.

When Protect-M is used in combination with PURASAL Opti.Form to give Listeria control, processors can achieve Alternative 1 status for RTE products.
