ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and system for reducing microbial burden on a food product. The method includes contacting the food product with an antimicrobial agent and irradiating the food product. The system includes an applicator adapted and configured for contacting a food product with an antimicrobial agent and an irradiator adapted and configured for irradiating a food product. The antimicrobial agent can be a peroxycarboxylic acid.
