The USDA has granted A&B Ingredients approval for its CytoGuard as a Salmonella intervention agent in ground poultry products. CytoGuard has been developed 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.
