"Your speech marks ended just before that bit about antimicrobial doodah, which made that bit appear to be part of your own remarks, which then ended with your bleating remainers thingie"

well now you know better , you silly little lad. The actual author of the article is The Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ)

"microorganisms on poultry carcasses (EFSA, 2005b).
The BIOHAZ Panel concluded that the use of substance(s) for decontaminating treatments will be
regarded efficacious when any reduction of the prevalence and/or numbers of pathogenic target
pathogenic microorganisms is statistically significant when compared to the control (e.g. water) and,
at the same time, this reduction has a positive impact on reduction of human illness cases

(EFSA,
2008a). On the one hand efficacy depends on a range of factors such as concentration, contact time, temperature and mode of application, the microbial load of the surface and other conditions of application.
In addition, concern has recently been raised about the potential for microorganism(s) to develop resistance to substances used for decontamination of carcasses. In most cases, such resistance could
be developed following the improper use or storage of the substances resulting in a decrease in theireffectiveness (EFSA, 2008a).
The BIOHAZ Panel concluded that despite a long history of use, there are currently no published data to conclude that the application of the four substances - chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite,
trisodium phosphate, peroxyacids (EFSA, 2008a) to remove microbial contamination of poultry carcasses at the proposed conditions of use will lead to the occurrence of acquired reduced susceptibility to biocides or resistance to therapeutic antimicrobials.


And you with your hubris of a second rate union activist think you know better than the experts.
You Sir, are a fool.
