Various food processing methods and a food processing system minimize microbial growth while an animal such as a chicken, is processed, into food. During processing temperature of an animal carcass and, atmosphere surrounding the carcass are controlled by spraying gases and a mixture of ozone and water on the carcass directing the gases through a, passage in a wall to cool a processing area and flowing the gases into, atmosphere surrounding the carcass. Preferably the gases include ozone and, cryogenic gases recycled from a cryogenic freezer. The system uses a reduced amount of fresh water by recycling water used during food processing.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 4, 1997 and granted February 12, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 4, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 4, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
