Frozen microbiocidal compositions which comprise a frozen aqueous microbiocidal solution containing a bromine content from at least one 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin are described. Methods of producing such compositions and methods for making use of such compositions are also described. Among the advantages are that the water resulting from melting of the frozen compositions typically has microbiocidal activity. Thus, in effect, during refrigerated storage, during ensuing refrigerated transportation, and during ensuing usage at retail distribution points the water from the melted ice not only has protected the foodstuff, but sanitizes surfaces associated therewith. |
