More forceful use of water-based decontamination technologies, alone or in combination with acidic interventions, may greatly contribute to enhanced meat safety, by modulation of resistance of E. coli 0157 H7 and other pathogens to acid. Water-based decontamination may also be rotated with acidic interventions (Samelis et al., 2002a). 

An important control strategy in the combat against extreme acid-tolerant food pathogens such as E. coli 0157 H7 is found in decontamination of meat carcasses. The ideal may be to control the extent of exposure of E. coli 0157 H7 to acid during meat processing and to increase the use of nonacid interventions such as hot water spraying and steam pasteurization, and would be a logical approach to sensitize E. coli 0157 H7 to acid in the absence of acid stress in food environments. Enhanced meat safety may be promoted by more intense use of water-based decontamination...
