  • Process of preparing a trichinae-free pork product
    Patent number: 4780323
    Abstract: A process for preparing meat products which may inherently contain trichinae parasites so as to insure that the product after treatment is free of live trichinae organisms. The process comprises the steps of subdividing the meat to expose trichinae to treatment conditions and contacting the subdivided meat with salt, forming the salted subdivided product and heating sequentially at a temperature and for a time sufficient to destroy the salt conditioned trichinae organisms but insufficient to adversely affect the texture of the meat.
