Chimiba, Chimica Industriale Dott.
Balsano, was established in 1970 as an applied research laboratory to help the meat industry find adequate solutions to some important hygiene-health
issues. One of the most important of these problems is the decontamination and the reduction of bacterial cells on the surface of
meats. During slaughtering, these cells contain hazardous substances and germs that are considered difficult to eliminate and to such an extent that they are defined by the same industry as "technologically inevitable".
(Those working in this profession are very familiar with these problems because they have a significant effect on the slaughtering
economy, especially in terms of the food quality and safety of the finished
product). Among the products with industrial applications that Chimiba develops within the framework of research carried out in collaboration with the quality managers of some important companies in the
sector, the market rewards and favours a process coadjutant called
"SAN-PEL®";
(healthy skin).
Experiments have demonstrated, for the very first time, that SAN-PEL® completely decontaminates the surface of meats in a harmless
manner, removing and eliminating all hygienically undesirable chemical and bacterial substances from such
meats, without affecting the food and without leaving any harmful
residues.
The favourable consensus of qualified scientific and industrial opinions for this new product has been supported by an exceptional
fact: recognition by the competent health
authorities. After nine years of tests and institutional controls on the harmlessness and
effectiveness, the competent health authorities have recognised SAN-PEL® as being suitable for use and have authorised its use in meat production and processing
activities. Thus, finally, the first and only product has been developed whitc is absolutely effective in the world market and AUTHORISED by the competent health authorities to come in direct contact with meats. In 1990, Chimiba made the necessary industrial adjustments to produce and supply the SAN-PEL® technology and
product, along with other just as important products. Applying SAN-PEL® when slaughtering meat from all types of animals ensures the highest possible food safety in complete compliance with legal and industrial efficiency
standards.
