Fortified With Six Essential Viruses and Iron!

...when you deliberately spray viruses on food?

The combination of six viruses is designed to be sprayed on ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including sliced ham and turkey, said John Vazzana, president and chief executive officer of manufacturer Intralytix Inc.

The special viruses, called bacteriophages, are meant to kill strains of the Listeria monocytogenes bacterium, the Food and Drug Administration said in declaring it safe to use on ready-to-eat meats prior to their packaging.

So you see, you use the viruses to kill the bacteria. Kind of like using the harmless little cane toad to kill beetles. What could possibly go wrong?
