study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of several antimicrobial products of differing chemistries in order to determine the most effective solutions that can be applied to varying industry situations. Antimicrobials (n=14) were tested for effectiveness on lean beef surfaces (5.08 cm diameter, 0.4 cm thick) within a Ross TC 700MC tenderizer (Ross Industries, Midland, VA) equipped with a Dosatron (Clearwater, FL) custom-built spray cabinet. Lean beef wafers (n=80) for each antimicrobial, which were fabricated from boneless top butt sirloins (IMPS...
