  The kit contains a pair of non-handed size large sterile polyethylene gloves, 25 ml buffered peptone water (the peptone water has an expiration date marked on the box), a Whirl-Pak® Speci-Sponge® bag, and two disposable sterile templates, one for meat carcasses (10 x 10 cm) and one for poultry (5 x 10 cm). The disposable template eliminates the need for re-sanitizing reusable templates, saving time and money, making it easier to transport the template to the carcass. The flexible heavy paper templates form to the contours of the carcass, making it easier to swab within the required area. The gloves and templates are packaged together in a sealed plastic bag that has a perforation for easy opening. Following USDA instructions, moisten the sponge with half of the peptone water, swab the carcass through the template in three places for meat carcasses and two places on turkeys. Place the sponge back in the bag, add the rest of the peptone water, close the bag, and send to a lab for testing. Box of 25 kits.

  All sterile closure Whirl-Pak bags are R-NASE, D-NASE, Pyrogen and BPH free; our bags also comply with regulatory and industrial requirements of USDA, FDA, HACCP and EPA.
