By: A&B Ingredients Nov. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Fairfield, NJ – On the heels of the recent recall of thousands of pounds of tainted ground turkey products, the USDA has granted A&B Ingredients approval for its CytoGuard™ as a salmonella intervention agent in ground poultry products.
A&B Ingredients, a leading developer, marketer and distributor of food ingredients, has developed CytoGuard™ for use as a powerful antimicrobial agent to combat common foodborne pathogens. Based on Lauric Arginate, a derivate of Lauric Acid, L-Arginine and Ethanol -- all naturally occurring substances -- CytoGuard LA is specifically designed for use in ready to eat (RTE) processed meat and poultry products. In acknowledging the company’s request for use of the lauric arginate ester (LAE) as an antimicrobial agent in ground poultry, the USDA acknowledged A&B Ingredients’ “The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) estimate that more than 76 million incidents of foodborne illness occur in the United States each year. One area of deep concern to consumers is the spread of pathogens such as listeria, salmonella and E. Coli in prepared foods.” says Gil Bakal, A&B Ingredients’ “As an antimicrobial agent, CytoGuard LA is also effective for improving food safety and reducing bacteria levels of refrigerated food products, all types of prepared salads, as well as ready-to-eat fresh cuts of meat and poultry.” The benefits of CytoGuard LA are: • Stable up to one year • Stable in pH ranges 3-9 • Stable to heating and freezing • Concentrates in the water phase of products • At typical usage levels it does not impart any off flavors to most food products • It is a clear liquid and will not affect the appearance of food products Founded in 1990, A&B Ingredients is a leading developer, marketer and distributor of high quality natural food ingredients.
