Versions Notes
The journal has retracted the article “Exploring the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Low-Cost Commercial Disinfectants Utilized in the Agro-Food Industry Wash Tanks: Towards Enhanced Hygiene Practices” [1].
Following publication, the Editorial Office was made aware of concerns regarding the use of a dataset included in the article [1].
In accordance with our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that, following input from the authors and representatives from the research institution CEBAS-CSIC, confirmed that the documented institutional authorization had not been obtained prior to publication. Despite the efforts of the authors, retroactive permission could not be obtained. As a result, the Editorial Board has decided to retract the article [1] in accordance with MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics, accessed on 1 June 2025).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of Foods.
Francisco Chalen-Moreano agrees to this retraction; the remaining authors did not provide a comment on this decision.
