Birko’s Beefxide approved for use on beef products exported to Japan
The U.S. Meat Export Foundation has issued a guidance document listing Birko’s Beefxide (a blend of lactic acid, citric acid and potassium hydroxide) as an approved antimicrobial intervention product, based on recent discussions between the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
As the only company to offer an intervention portfolio including Beefxide, lactic and PAA, Birko is uniquely positioned to provide multi-hurdle interventions to processors wherever their export markets are located.
