<p>This study was conducted to test the concept of utilizing films containing anti-microbial substances as an intervention strategy for wrapping fresh beef cuts. Polyethylene film was impregnated with a high (1.8%) or low (0.4%) concentration of chlorine dioxide, a compound commonly used as a sanitizer, and as a water purifier. Whole beef cuts were packaged either with these films, or with non-impregnated films (controls), and refrigerated.</p>
