Infrared Pasteurizing:

Unitherm Infrared Pasteurization is approved by USDA FSIS and recognized for post-process, pre-package surface pasteurization on RTE deli products. Common applications include smoked or roasted deli turkey, ham, and roast beef. Third-party validation studies confirm over a 3.0 log reduction in Listeria Monocytogenis in 60 seconds with little or no further chilling required. Read Scientific Research Documents.

The product is pre cooked, chilled, and then pasteurized through infrared just before final packaging, which eliminates the risk of pathogens being drawn deep into the product during vacuum packaging—an action that even post-package water pasteurization cannot effectively address.
