Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to a system for and method of processing a food product (101), the method comprising applying steam of a gas (103) from a steam generator (102; 100) to at least a part of a food product (101) for a predetermined period of time thereby cleaning and/or disinfecting at least a part of the food product (101), the food product (101) having an inner surface area (101') and an outer surface area (101"), wherein the applied steam of a gas (103) is applied to at least a part of the outer (101") and/or inner surface area (101') of the food product (101) with no direct contact between the steam generator (102; 100) and the food product (101), and a velocity of said streaming gas (103) at said outer and/or inner surface area (101') of the food product (101) is at least about 8 meter pr. second and at most about 100 meter pr. second. In this way, efficient cleaning and/or disinfection of a food product is enabled by applying steam to the outer and/or inner surface area of the food product. The use of steam as a means for cleaning and/or disinfection enables a very efficient cleaning and/or disinfection but also gives an easy and efficient way of reaching many or even substantially all parts of the outer and/or inner surface area regardless of curvature, folds, shape, etc. The steam may also have a velocity that allows for kinetic cleaning of the outer and/or inner surface (101'). In this way, unwanted carcass contamination remnants or other unwanted matter or particles on the outer and/or inner surface areas are efficiently removed. L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour traiter un produit alimentaire (101), ledit procédé consistant à appliquer de la vapeur d'un gaz (103) provenant d'un générateur de vapeur (102; 100) sur au moins une partie d'un produit alimentaire (101) pendant une durée prédéfinie de façon à nettoyer et/ou désinfecter au moins une partie du produit alimentaire (101), ledit produit alimentaire (101) présentant une surface intérieure (101') et une surface extérieure (101"). La vapeur du gaz (103) est appliquée sur au moins une partie de la surface extérieure (101") et/ou de la surface intérieure (101') du produit alimentaire (101), sans contact direct entre le générateur de vapeur (102; 100) et le produit alimentaire (101), et la vitesse du gaz (103) s'écoulant sur ladite surface extérieure et/ou intérieure (101') du produit alimentaire (101) est comprise entre 8 mètres par seconde et 100 mètres par seconde approxima
