Under this sampling plan the operator must test each lot for calcium, protein and bone particle until 10 consecutive lots are in compliance. The operator is required to implement a control program based on 4.16.2.1.1, Fermentation Done at a Constant Temperature (Constant Temperature Process) and 4.16.2.1.2, Fermentation Done at Different Temperatures (Variable Temperature Processes) to control pathogens. It must be remembered that a reduction in water activity neither destroys microorganisms nor toxins; it only retards the growth of microorganisms. This process accelerates the cure process and enhances the appearance of the finished product. Special attention must be paid to the list of ingredients of the resulting meat product; all ingredients added either directly or by the means of a rework product must be accurately declared in the ingredients list of the resulting meat product. The operator's prerequisite program and HACCP system must include a control program for the use of eggs that includes: Preserved products must comply with sectionB 14.031 of the Food and Drug Regulations. This difference is because the sausage product's smaller size results in a much quicker cooling and decreased cumulative lethality. The operator is responsible to ensure that the temperature of the meat is controlled to minimize the time that any portion of a meat product is above 4C. For information on the use of antimicrobial interventions in ready-to-eat meat products, see Chapter 4, Annex H, Section 3.1, Antimicrobial agents and post-lethality procedures. Cold smoke temperatures are generally less than 30C. Restructured meat processing technology and development trend. When the smoking of pork products is used with heat to destroy Trichinella, the temperatures maintained must be carefully monitored. See Annex H for mandatory requirements for Listeriaspp. When meat products in natural casings are reworked special attention must be paid to the animal species from which the casings were derived in order to verify that labelling requirements are met. Method of inoculation to be used: the inoculum must be added to the meat and mixed prior to the addition of the other ingredients or a starter culture to the meat mixture. To ensure that all of the requirements corresponding to the selected option are met, and to suitably demonstrate this, operators of registered establishments who manufacture a dry/semi-dry fermented sausage are required to complete a copy of Annex K "Option used for the control of E.coliO157:H7 in dry and semi-dry fermented sausage" for each different product and attach all the required information. The operator is encouraged to measure temperatures at the surface of the product. )A=u!C(K CS hbbd``b`OAD`$4^WR ne"j@zopGL@?0 mpS comminuted meat products 2-spices and ingredients. An edible product resulting from the mechanical separation and removal of most of the bone from attached skeletal muscle of livestock or poultry carcasses. Once the lot is completely assembled, determine its size (in, Randomly select the containers from the lot in proportion to different code marks, and remove the required number of 5.5. YES = FULLY COOKED The existing reference listing will continue to be accessible on the CFIA website but will no longer be updated. for the purposes of this chapter, in respect of a meat product intended for sale, use or consumption as an edible meat product in Canada, means containing an ingredient, food additive, poison, decomposed substance, visible contamination, any pathogenic microorganisms that are injurious to health or failing to meet the standards set out in Part I, Standards and Identification of Edible Meat Products of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. foods that contain as ingredients foods from more than one food commodity. The operator's prerequisite program and HACCP system must include a control program for restricted non-meat food products that includes: The operator of the registered establishment must use pasteurized processed egg which originates from a registered processed egg station or may purchase grade "Canada A" shell eggs from a registered egg station. Such lots must be held and samples of product submitted for microbiological laboratory examination after the drying period has been completed. Potential hazards associated with these automated processes include pathogen outgrowth from precursor materials and temperature abuse during production, metal particles from the equipment, excessive amounts of bone fragments and residual SRM. An evaluation technique of the operator in which samples are taken from the assembled lot of product. Examples of how to use the calculation method for constant temperature processes: Fermentation room temperature is a constant 26C. hLj0_o8IJP All food additives used in meat product formulations must be listed in the Tables of Division 16 of the Food and Drug Regulations and used according to the provisions in those tables. The placing of frozen meat into cooking kettles without prior thawing is permitted only when a representative sample of the entire lot has been thawed and found to be sound and unadulterated. It is the operator's responsibility to develop and implement Control Programs that meet the requirements outlined in this section. The number of defects in the first and second sample must be totalled. The operator must notify the CFIA of each case where degree-hours limits have been exceeded. Uncooked Comminuted Fermented Meat (UCFM) is a meat product manufactured by a series of processes including fermentation and maturation (with smoking/heat treatment as an optional step). hb```,@(qPTQL;6T&M#jrv)F=B Those records showing adherence to the schedule (product time/temperature) should be maintained on file for a period of at least 12 months beyond the shelf life (best before) of the product and made available to the inspector on request. Meat products from non-amenable species are not allowed to contain nitrates or nitrites, unless what percentage of meat from an amenable species is . The operator must have a control program in place for skinless MSM which includes a sampling plan. Where this chapter of the Meat Hygiene Manual of Procedures uses the terminology "where necessary", "where appropriate", "adequate", or "sufficient", it is up to the operator of a registered establishment in first instance to decide whether a requirement is necessary, appropriate, adequate, or sufficient to achieve the objectives of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. For example, a 3D reduction would destroy 99.9% of the organisms. means by the Meat Programs Division (MPD), means the Area Executive Director, Operations, as designated by the President of the Agency, means Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point, means the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990, means the Meat Hygiene Manual of Procedures, means registered under the authority of the Meat Inspection Act and Regulations. For example, skin-on necks which have attached neck skin can be used to make MSM but necks to which flaps of breast or back skin have been left attached cannot be used. The level of estimated increase in Clostridium perfringens concentration (log increase) will depend on the quality of data obtained by an evaluator and input into the program. It takes 55 hours for the pH to reach 5.3. * PSI: Pounds per square inch ** MPa: Megapascal. National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Research Report Number 11-316, Chicago, Illinois, 1996. Should the operator elect to use alternate sampling plans, methods and/or criteria, these must be evaluated by the CFIA to ensure that they are at least equivalent with Annex F, Part 1. Indicating and recording thermometers must be calibrated. Acceptably constructed combo bins may be used for storage and transportation of refrigerated or frozen meat products. Every effort must be made to prevent the meat products from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of any shipping containers during filling. Degree-hours are calculated for each temperature used in the process. It is the operator's responsibility to develop and implement Control Programs that meet the mandatory process control requirements and performance requirements outlined in this chapter. The restructuring technology of meat originated in the 1960s. The operator must include in the establishment's control program for raw meat derived from any species, a monitoring program for incoming products, destined for cutting, boning, slicing or dicing, as a fresh meat product. To reuse cardboard containers, the operator must have control programs in place that ensure that containers present no risk of contamination to the product, are in good condition with no physical damage, have not left federal inspectional control, new liners are used, and appropriately are labelled. In the case of protein the results must be rounded to the nearest 0.1% (i.e. Cooling regimens for meat products should result in no more than a 1-log CFU/g increase of C. perfringens and no growth of C. botulinum. Recording thermometers are also preferable in drying and aging rooms but, in these rooms, it may be sufficient to read and record the temperatures 2 times a day. For routine monitoring, accurate measurement electronic, The storage temperature must be maintained at 4. This plan is used when the equipment is first installed, when major components are replaced (e.g. In order to suitably control these hazards and prevent incidents of food borne disease, registered establishments who manufacture fermented sausages are required to use one of the five following options for the control of verotoxinogenic E.coli including E.coliO157:H7 and Salmonella when they make this type of product. Examples include sausages, hot dogs, etc. maintained at a temperature not exceeding 10. (b) the procedures to ensure compliance with the performance requirements set out in the Manual of Procedures. However, labelling of the product must comply with Section 94(6.1) of the MIR which stipulates: "If any meat product is not a ready-to-eat meat product but has the appearance of or could be mistaken for a ready-to-eat meat product, the meat product shall bear the following information on its label: In order to meet these requirements, the operator must label the meat product to prevent it from being mistaken for a cooked RTE product and provide clear preparation instructions that when followed by the consumer will fully cook the product (i.e. End product sampling for Clostridium perfringens (viable cells) can be done as an additional safety measure but is not sufficient on its own. %%EOF The term comminuted meat is used to describe meat, either raw or pre-cooked, which has been cut, shredded, ground or minced into small pieces. The artificial edible casing does not have to be declared on the label of the product. The operator must prevent leakage. The aw and pH values are critical in the control of pathogens as well as to ensure shelf-stability in all semi-dry and dry fermented meat products. Our goal was to find the exact threshold for fresh to frozen meat ratio capable of controlling the meat temperature during processing, but without having an adverse effect on the sensory quality of minced pork. It is recommended that holding freezers be capable of maintaining temperatures of -18C or colder. The following procedure is recommended: add inoculum to meats while grinding or chopping the meats to the desired consistency; blend in starter culture (if used) near end of mixing cycle; and. ii Comminuted - chunk size c2 to 3 cm3 e.g., reformed hams, ground meat patties. Depending upon the final use of the communited meat the degree of comminution is done which differs among various processed products and is often a unique characteristic of a particular product ranging from very coarsely comminuted (to produce non-emulsified sausages like salamis and summer sausages), to finely comminuted, (to produce . The operator must ensure the heat process is sufficient to destroy trichinae. or when major repairs are made. Upon completion of a successful evaluation, the operator must be provided in writing stating that the CFIA has evaluated the process for its ability to control E.coliO157:H7 and that it does not object to the operator using the process. In either case, the operator's Control Programs must include procedures that address the build-up of product material on the equipment, to minimize cross contamination of product over time on a given production line. The operator must control the risk of cross contamination from non cleaned containers. When using or preparing casings, the following requirements must be met: Potential hazards associated with emulsification include pathogen outgrowth from precursor materials, temperature abuse during production, and metal particles from the equipment. The operator is required to implement a microbiological testing program for E.coli0157 and Salmonella as a verification procedure for their process. meat products. procedures implemented by operators in the post-lethality processing environment to control or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. Alternative temperature control measures must provide the same or better outcome. The operator is responsible to implement proper controls over the conditions under which the product is handled to ensure its wholesomeness. Use a manufacturing process (combination of fermentation, heating, holding and/or drying) which has already been scientifically validated to achieve a 5D reduction of E.coliO157:H7. hAO05R8lH JdYmRMtP cXzlDg!C=Z`H^@b)Py{)``]S3:]RJ Under this option, it is not required to test for E.coliO157:H7. The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. The limitation of the number of degree-hours depends upon the highest temperature in the fermentation process prior to the time that a pH of 5.3 or less is attained. The optional use of antimicrobial agents, when used as pathogen reduction procedures for cutting of raw meat, must be included as part of the operator's control program. With traditional aging, however, temperature and humidity abuse can result in mould growth, and spoilage bacterial growth, both of which can be indicators of possible pathogenic bacterial outgrowth. For the purpose of this monitoring plan a sample of at least 500g shall be taken randomly from the production lot. For products stored under refrigerated conditions, the operator must have in place Control Programs to monitor the temperature of these products, such that the internal temperature of each product is 4C or less but not frozen. The operator's written control program must justify the room or area temperature most appropriate for the specific processing step conducted therein, specifying hazards related to temperature abuse in the establishment HACCP system. Storage conditions must in accordance with Chapter 3 of this manual. Temperature and humidity should be uniform throughout the fermentation room. Recording thermometers must be present and properly functioning. The operator must demonstrate compliance of the final product to Schedule I of the MIR. For example, a post-lethality treatment is considered satisfactory when it achieves at least 3-log reduction in number of L.monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat products, e.g., High-Pressure Processing (HPP) at 87000psi for 3 minutes. Annex G: The content of this Annex has been removed due to discontinuation of the starter culture review program. Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. also wrapped in natural casing), to a limit of 3% in weight of the new meat product. Freezing as an application for destruction of the parasites Trichinella, and Cysticercus, is described in Annex B of this chapter and Chapter 17 respectively. The mandatory outcome of the boneless fresh meat control program is to minimize the outgrowth of pathogens either in an end-product for the consumer or when the product is destined for further processing. The following methods have been found acceptable for this purpose: Care must be taken as to the location where ingredients are stored, prepared, mixed or measured. They can not have perforations; if perforated, a liner must be used. Restricted non-meat food products are described in Division 16 of the Food and Drug Regulations. the spinal cord must be removed from ruminant, equine and porcine carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation. The operator must have deviation procedures for product which does not meet the standards outlined in 4.3.3. Non-intact beef products include beef that has been injected/enhanced with solutions, mechanically tenderized by needling, cubing, or pounding devices, or reconstructed into formed entrees (e.g., beef that has been scored to incorporate a marinade, beef that has a solution of proteolytic enzymes Whenever combo bins are used for the storage of meat products in freezers or for the shipment of refrigerated or frozen meat products from a registered establishment, the meat products must be protected by adequate lids or covers to prevent contamination. . For details on mandatory prerequisite programs and HACCP plans to meet regulatory requirements, please refer to the Meat Hygiene Manual of Procedures (MOP) Chapter 3, Pre-requisite Programs and the Food Safety Enhancement Program (FSEP) Manual. means an ingredient that enhances the natural flavour of a meat product, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. includes any article manufactured, sold or represented for use as food or drink for human beings, chewing gum, and any ingredient that may be mixed with food for any purpose, as defined by the Food and Drugs Act. Sampling plans, methods and criteria for disposition of lots of boneless meat are found in Annex F, Part 1. From each stick selected, cut multiple cross-sectional slices from multiple locations on each stick to a final analytical sample weight of 25, Methods of microbial analysis: Blend each of the two 25 gram samples (one per stick) in separate 225. Sausage can be manufactured on a small scale by homogenizing meat with ice (for temperature control) using a bowl-chopper. Packaging procedures must be included it the operator's prerequisite programs and HACCP system. Above a critical temperature of 15.6C, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production can take place. Pickling, the addition of an acidulant such as acetic acid or citric acid, lowers the pH value of the meat product. A saturated salt solution has a salt content of 26.4% and a salinometer reading of 100. for the purposes of this chapter, includes the examination of a product or sample from a shipment or other collection of products, or, in respect of a process, the verification or monitoring of the process. If wood chips or sawdust are used for smoke generation, their storage and use must not pose a sanitary hazard. For production specifications please consult Chapter 15 of the MOP. Meat is chemically composed of major components such as water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and many other small components such as vitamins, enzymes, pigments, and flavours ( Ramalingam, Song, & Hwang, 2019 ). For purposes of this program, a lot shall consist of the mechanically separated meat or finely textured meat produced from a single species in no more than one continuous shift of up to 12 hours. R % uPm_5 iN+YPR,e lI Whenever there is a cooling deviation, if the operator intends to distribute the product, they must conduct a risk assessment on the product. Textbook solutions. Archived information is provided for reference, research or record-keeping purposes only. The texture and eating quality of the products are therefore superior to the raw materials used and are hence more desirable to consumers. We shall be principally concerned with cooked sausage which is intended to be bound together with some degree of strength in its manufacture. }@ The temperature and duration of the cooking process for heat treated meat products should be such that the heat treatment alone or in combination with other preserving processes is sufficient to destroy pathogens and toxins. A food contact surface (FCS) is any surface or object that comes into contact with the meat product. Manufacturing processes used to make fermented sausages are considered partially effective against E.coliO157:H7 if it is shown that they achieve 2D to 5D reduction of E.coliO157:H7. See Annex O for policy specifications on the detection of E.coliO157:H7 in raw beef. The washing and rinsing must ensure that the containers are visibly clean. A carcass re-inspection station located prior to cutting and/or boning is required for red meat and must be equipped as per MOP Chapter 3, section 3.4.12, Check Trim Station. The temperature in a room or area of a registered establishment where a meat product is processed, packaged, labelled or handled shall be appropriate to ensure the preservation of a meat product. Establishments should separate the handling of cooked, partially cooked and raw products to prevent recontamination. Please refer to Chapter 3.6, Pre-requisite Programs for the requirements for acceptable packaging materials and non-food chemical products.
