Growing concerns over toxic chlorinated by‑products have led to the disapproval of high‑dose chlorine and similar biocides in the latest Codex Alimentarius revisions. For water in direct contact with fish and seafood, only potable water levels of biocide are now permitted.
This makes Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) the ideal solution. Its broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action and ability to penetrate slime layers and oily surfaces ensure effective protection in critical applications such as:
-
Washing and rinsing fish fillets
-
Filleting and cutting lines
-
Ice production for fish storage and transport
Why Chlorine Dioxide Works Best
-
Effective at Low Doses
Achieves powerful disinfection at low residual levels, ensuring compliance with Codex requirements. -
Protects Sensitive Produce
Particularly suited to delicate products such as salmon, where other biocides can cause bleaching or quality loss. -
Broad‑Spectrum Action
Controls bacteria, fungi, and spores without producing hazardous chlorinated by‑products. -
Prevents Cross‑Contamination
Penetrates protective layers where bacteria hide, eliminating the sources of contamination.
