Abstract
A method and composition for eradicating bacteria from animal carcasses. The composition comprises a solution coating aliphatic medium chain fatty acids, a chelating agent, enough hydrochloric acid to maintain the solution at an acid pH and enough water to dilute the solution to an appropriate concentration of fatty acids. Animal carcasses to be treated are baptized in the solution for ten to thirty minutes, removed and rinsed. Animal carcasses may also be treated by spraying the solution on the carcasses to be treated. When the solution is to be sprayed on a carcass, a thickener such as a polysaccharide is added to the solution such that the spray solution sticks or holds onto the treated carcass.
