A chiller bath includes a tank for holding a volume of chiller water; a dosing system for dosing a first solution and a second solution into the chiller water, arranged to create a plurality of zones within the volume of water, wherein each zone has a higher concentration of either the first or the second solution than surrounding portions of the volume of water; and a meat or poultry immersion arrangement for immersing and moving carcasses in the chiller water. A method for reducing bacterial load on meat or poultry includes generating a plurality of zones within a chiller bath containing water by dosing a source of alkalinity and antimicrobial into the water, wherein the plurality of zones comprises at least one alkaline zone with a pH above 8.5, and at least one antimicrobial zone with pH below 8.5; and submersing meat or poultry in the bath. The zones can also be generated using spray nozzles in a meat or poultry operation.

A crab meat removal device that is extremely easy and fast to remove crab meat and eliminates the need for traditional more tedious devices and methods associated with removing crab meat. The crab meat removal device includes a handle, an elongated stem, and a contact head. The contact head may be circular or oval and may push or pull the crab meat from the crab leg that accommodates the anatomy of the crab shell and tendons. The crab meat removal device may be made from stainless steel that is subjected to an electro phasing process to prevent corrosion and to meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules and regulations. The crab meat removal device also includes a corresponding method for removing crab meat.
