Validation of Immersion Precooling and Drip Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures on Weight, Temperature, Microbiological Quality, and Safety of Chicken Carcasses by Angela B.P.S. Fernandes, Clair F.S. Pereira, Hiago M. Pereira, Marco A.C. Batista, Luiz F.S. Dionisio, Amauri A. Alfieri, Bruna Alexandrino, José C. Ribeiro-Júnior

“…Pathotypes of diarrheagenic E. coli, mainly atypical EPEC and STEC, and S. aureus with enterotoxigenic potential were highly prevalent in the carcasses even before entering the precooling systems by immersion, which was not sufficient to rule out the occurrence of any pathogen studied. Despite the notable SSOP effect on the quantification of microbiological indicators during immersion cooling, the high occurrence of different pathogens underlies the need to review procedures and techniques not only in slaughterhouses but also throughout the production chain, acting in an integrated manner to provide biosecurity and reduce risks to the consumption of chicken meat.…”
