Factsheet of the IDF N° 28/2023: Prevention of the development of chlorate in the dairy chain
Chlorate is a significant degradation product of chlorine-based disinfectants. It arises largely from chlorine-based products that are widely used in water disinfection processes designed to produce microbiologically-safe potable water. Chlorate also arises from the use of such products for cleaning and disinfection of milk- and food-contact surfaces along the manufacturing chain from farm to table.
