SafePlate® Cultured Antimicrobials
Meat and poultry are at risk of food-borne pathogens and microorganisms. SafePlate® Cultured Antimicrobial ingredients are natural and contain antimicrobial rich organic acids and peptides capable of inhibiting toxin-producing spores, pathogens, and spoilage bacteria. Organoleptic properties like taste and smell are virtually uninhibited due to the purity, filtration, and proprietary processing Wenda Ingredients takes to craft these natural solutions. Meat and poultry should taste the way they were meant to be enjoyed, naturally.
