Hello Chingling,
Happy new year, all my best wishes for 2007.
Indeed if u look at the EU legislation on biocidal compounds, the peracetic acid is unfortunately not registered as washing aid to be used in contact with foodstuffs, but u can still use it for water disinfection (like the sodium hypochlorite).
Abt the 5 to 10 ppm in the water, u can still try to push Philippines and other ASEAN countries to sue SANCO through WTO as Codex Alimentarius still recommend the use of chlorinated water in contact with fishery products (max 10 ppm) until the Guidance on the use of chlorinated water is issued.

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
