Effective April 12, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will permit poultry processors to replace part of the fresh water used to chill poultry carcasses with reconditioned water, proved certain safety ALeuiti<ir(L d, l ">et Reconditioned water is filtered or treated to keep bacteria levels low so it can be reused. “The final rule con tains essentially the same provisions as the Sept. 15 proposal,” said Donald L. Houston, administrator of USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. “Poultry processors will be allowed to reduce the amount of fresh water used, provided the water is replaced by a greater amount of reconditioned water.” After slaughter, poultry carcasses are immersed in large tanks of chilled water to quickly reduce carcass temperatures, thus preventing spoilage. To minimize the ac cumulation of bacteria in the chillers, processors are required to add fresh water - at the rate of one gallon per turkey and one half gallon per chicken. As i fresh water enters the [chiller, waste water is , discharged. i Under the new {regulation, the amount {of reconditioned water j required to replace the j fresh water will be I based on the quality of ■ the reconditioned water. r —' I 7 s ih .*cr*arjf W Sale W.L.
