Described is a method of sanitizing animal carcasses using aqueous streams having an antimicrobial composition added to the stream. Preferably, the antimicrobial composition includes a mixture of one or more carboxylic acids having up to 18 carbon atoms and one or more peroxycarboxylic acids having up to 12 carbon atoms, preferably a mixture of a C-Cperoxycarboxylic acid and a C-Cperoxycarboxylic acid. Also described is a novel antimicrobial composition adapted for sanitizing animal carcasses containing a mixture of one or more C-Cperoxycarboxylic acids and one or more C-Cperoxycarboxylic acids and an alpha-hydroxy mono- or dicarboxylic acid.
