Question:
Your using chlorinated water in the chiller – does this mean a chiller as in
refrigerator or chilling water used for the fillets?
Doesn’t Europe frown on the use of chlorine on any water used for the
product and if this Is correct, wouldn’t they also frown on peracetic acid?
EU officials recently visited the Philippines and Indonesia and one of the
main criticisms is that chlorinated water at levels of even as low as 5-10%
in any wash water that would come in contact with product – whether with
skin or not, is frowned upon. The problem was that many plants had this
chlorinated wash in their HACCP plans because it was/is an acceptable
practice for the USA and Canadian markets.
Can anyone comment on this?

Subject: RES: green coloration in frozen tilapia
Janani,
The situation happened with me in two opportunities, also.
All our fish is produced for instance free from drugs as malachite green
(MG) and leucomalachite green (LMG)
The suspicions were deterioration for resistant bacterias to the low
temperature, presents in the visceras, meantime in my analyzes it was not
detected an number high of resistant bacterias the low temperature.
Another suspicion was the high exposition to chlorinated water in the
chiller.
The problem can be solved when substituting the chlorine for peracetic
acid.
best regards,

Assunto: green coloration in frozen tilapia
Hi,
I was referring to frozen tilapia fillets, and frozen for 4-5 months. If you
have any knowledge of the green coloration in tilapia, I would appreciate
your input.
Thanks,
Janani
