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. The manufacturing process must allow an extra 1 second of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. 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. Annex I: This Annex has been incorporated into Annex H. (c) the meat product conforms to the applicable standards prescribed by these Regulations and the Food and Drug Regulations. Concentration and rinse/drip times are key steps that must be included in the operator's control program, to avoid build-up of chemical residues on the end-product. 1. In the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) "refrigerate" means to lower the temperature of a meat product to, and to maintain the temperature at, 4C or lower, but does not include to freeze. These generic requirements for slow cooling are applicable for a meat product that is formulated: Brine concentration in the finished product = [% salt / (% salt + % moisture in end product)] x 100. Sample size, sampling time, sampling location and number of samples to test: Select two sausage sticks at the end of the drying period (finished product). piece of meat whose internal structure has not been modified. There are no mandatory labelling requirements associated with the use of high pressure processing. means a skin-like container used for a meat product, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. an individual unit of food that is combined with one or more other individual units of food to form an ingredient, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means, in respect of a meat product, to determine that the meat product is inedible, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means a package in which a meat product is placed to be offered for sale, or intended to be offered for sale, but does not include a lining, a bulk container, or a transport container, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. a control program consisting of actions and activities that can be used to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level. for the purposes of this chapter, means any food for which a standard is not prescribed in the Food and Drug Regulations or the Meat Inspection Regulations. Operators are responsible for determining whether their meat product is ready-to-eat (RTE) according to this section. Product produced since the last satisfactory evaluation must be reconditioned. Once a pH of 5.3 is reached, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production are stopped. 998 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<576D9BEFE99B2147A4D9E3101C27BE83><37D7B03F1F34D543BCB4EB98378E8294>]/Index[982 44]/Info 981 0 R/Length 82/Prev 280603/Root 983 0 R/Size 1026/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream hLj0_o8IJP Sausages in artificial edible casings (e.g. The operator must implement a program for the control of aging and tenderizing processes. Meat emulsions include products like bologna, frankfurters, sausages, liver sausages, and meat loaf. A raw comminuted product that exceeds the maximum allowable ppm of a restricted ingredient at formulation would be considered "adulterated" in accordance with 9 CFR 301.2 or 381.1 because it contains a food additive that is unsafe within the meaning of section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Equipment used in the dehydration process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. A standardized meat product is one that has a standard prescribed by regulation. no more than 0.027% of calcium for every 1% of protein; it has a minimum protein content of 14%; and, bones emerging from separation equipment must be essentially intact and recognizable to assure that the bones are not being crushed, ground or pulverized; and, it complies with the standards set out within Schedule. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. For each lot, the operator must take 15 samples of raw batter and submit them for analysis. A food contact surface (FCS) is any surface or object that comes into contact with the meat product. As dried beef products may pose a hazard associated with E.coliO157:H7, these products must be submitted to a heat treatment before the drying process. The presence of kidney is defined as the presence of a part of a lobule or several lobules measuring at least 0.5cm x 0.5cm. Alternatively if their manufacturing process achieves a 2D reduction of E.coliO157:H7 they may be able to manufacture product according to the requirements of Option 4 (e.g., HACCP system and testing of raw batter). The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. These meat products have been heated to improve their appearance or flavor but the process does not result in a ready-to-eat product. 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. a meat product that has been cooked or dehydrated or to which has been added any substance other than meat, a meat by-product or mechanically separated meat, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. steps or procedures that control the operational conditions within a food establishment allowing for environmental conditions that are favourable to the production of safe food. Pe`~$/0X.H`87w Pc`T Mechanically Separated Pork or Poultry Meat will be deemed to contain skin unless the manufacturer indicates otherwise on the product's label. Conclusion: Example 2 does not meet the guideline because its degree-hours exceed the limit - hold the product and refer to sub-section 4.16.2.1.3. conditions or circumstances that might contaminate a food with dirt or filth, or render injurious to health, as defined by the Food and Drugs Act. the surface crusting must disappear within 2.5 hours (150 minutes) of completing the crust freezing process; the process must be monitored, by a designated plant employee, a minimum of every two (2) hours for crust disappearance and internal product temperature; the product must be labelled as either "previously frozen" or "frozen" whenever crust disappearance takes more than 150 minutes; and. The texture and eating quality of the products are therefore superior to the raw materials used and are hence more desirable to consumers. The presence of lung is defined as a part of lung measuring at least 1cm x 1cm. 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 Include as part of the manufacture of the sausage, one of the following heat processes which are recognized as controlling E.coliO157:H7. The formation of ice concentrates the dissolved solutes and reduces the water activity of the meat product. The pressure is released and the treated containers are packed and ready for shipping. Comminuted meat is ground meat. meat products. %PDF-1.6 % The washing and rinsing must ensure that the containers are visibly clean. Cutting, boning, slicing and dicing of fresh meat product are done, by present industry practices, either manually (hand saws, knives, wizards and electric saws) by designated employees or by automated equipment (such as may be used for poultry cutting and breast boning). The operator is required to ensure that any packaging material that is used in the sale of food products will not impart any undesirable substance to the meat product, either chemically, physically or microbiologically and must protect them sufficiently to avoid contamination. lungs must be removed from all poultry carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation; poultry carcasses dressed with kidneys may be used for. Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. YES = FULLY COOKED Likewise, if the scheduled lot run is 6 hours (360 minutes) sampling must be done every 18 minutes (360/20 = 18 minutes). finely textured chicken or mechanically separated beef). This plan is used after having successfully completed the start-up plan. 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 ). provide instructions to achieve a 6.5D or 7.0D reduction in Salmonellaspp.). Where this is not possible, the operator should utilize fermentation room temperatures. Processed meats are first categorised as being 'in whole cuts or pieces' or as 'comminuted'. The operator's approved alternative plan is then monitored by the CFIA. (d) in all other respects, inspection programs or examination programs, as the case may be, are operated in accordance with the Act and these Regulations. In this case, the final product is in a form that is not edible without additional . It is acceptable to combine a maximum of three (3) samples into a composite for purposes of analysis when testing is done for, At a minimum, each composite sample must be tested for the presence of, The method used to analyse the end product samples must be one of the methods listed in Health Canada's. 9. 5 seconds when the minimum internal (dwell) time is at least 200 seconds. Whenever there is a cooling deviation, if the operator intends to distribute the product, they must conduct a risk assessment on the product. 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. MSM is an edible product obtained by removing muscle tissue attached to bones by the means of mechanical meat/bone separation equipment that contains: FTM is an edible product obtained by removing muscle tissue attached to bones by the means of mechanical meat/bone separation equipment that contains: FTM can be used in the preparation of ground meat or identified as ground meat when: The regulatory definition for MSM prohibits the use of any previously deboned meat as input material. When using skinless MSM in the formulation of a meat product, up to 8% of skin from the named species is permitted under the MIR Schedule I. Every effort must be made to prevent the meat products from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of any shipping containers during filling. Reject, hold and recondition product when defects exceed limits. Degree-hours are the product of time as measured in hours at a particular temperature multiplied by the "degrees" measured in excess of 15.6C (the critical temperature for growth of Staphylococcus aureus). It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the control program for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. As the MSM is not labelled as "skinless", the amount of skin that may added is calculated for the 55kg of skinless pork trim only, which gives us an "x" value of 4.4kg (8% of 55kg). "Curing" means, in respect of an edible meat product, that salt together with at least 100 parts per million (ppm) and not more than 200ppm of sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite, sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate or any combination thereof, was added to the meat product during its preparation. See Annex H for mandatory requirements for Listeriaspp. endstream endobj 6292 0 obj <>stream Mechanical meat/bone separation equipment operates by using mechanical pressure to separate muscle tissue from the attached bones. (1) No person shall sell an article of food that. This protocol is based on ISO Table #2859-1 at an inspection level of S-4, for a lot or batch size ranging from 1,201 to 10,000 units. Approximate minimum levels of aw (if considered alone) for the growth of: parasites: Trichinella spiralis will survive at an aw of 0.93 but is destroyed at an aw of 0.85 or less. Recording thermometers must be present and properly functioning. Equipment used in the fermentation process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. refers to the treatment delivered to a meat product to achieve a reduction in the viable pathogenic organisms. These ingredients also reduce the cost of meat products. Establishments receiving beef carcasses or partial carcasses from cattle 30 months or older containing SRM must follow control procedures as outlined in Chapter 17 of the MOP. Quality attributes of meat and meat products are often described in terms of protein functionality, i.e., any inherent or process-generated property of proteins that affects physi-cal and sensory characteristics of raw and finished products. The standards for lard, shortening and tallow are listed in Schedule I of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means an inner or outer receptacle or covering used or to be used in connection with a meat product, as defined by the Meat Inspection Act. 1 second when the minimum internal (dwell) time is at less than 30seconds. A lot cannot exceed a single day's production. The supporting documentation and evaluation must be kept in file by the CFIA. Characterization of heat resistance of spores recovered from raw products would further facilitate the assessment of the cooling process parameters. Meat pieces obtained during deboning and which do not meet any meat cut labelling specification. The effects of dietary fiber addition on the water distribution, water binding capacity (WBC), and textural properties of a fat-reduced model meat system enriched with inulin, cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), chitosan, pectin, respectively, were investigated in this study. comminuted meat products 2-spices and ingredients. 1=LB S0H,J78)iP fAq! the amount of free or available water in a meat product. However, they must validate through a microbiological testing program that their process will not result in the presence of E.coliO157:H7 or Salmonella in the finished product. a shipment or part of a shipment of boneless manufacturing meat derived from a single species going to a single destination; or. an edible meat product which has a pH value above 4.6 and a water activity above 0.85, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. the edible part of a carcass that is the muscle associated with the skeleton, tongue, diaphragm, heart, gizzard or mammalian oesophagus, with or without accompanying and overlying fat, together with those parts of the bones, skin, sinews, nerves, blood vessels and other tissues that normally accompany the muscle and are not ordinarily removed in dressing a carcass, but does not include the muscle associated with the lips, snout, scalp or ears, mechanically separated meat or meat to which an ingredient other than meat has been added, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. edible blood, an edible organ or edible tissue that was derived from the carcass of a food animal, but does not include meat or mechanically separated meat, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. includes a carcass, the blood of an animal or a product or by-product of a carcass, or any product containing blood, a product of by-product of an animal, as defined by the Meat Inspection Act. Cold smoke temperatures are generally less than 30C. It refers to the extraction of matrix proteins in muscle fibers and the use of additives by means of mechanical and additive materials (salt, edible complex phosphate, animal and vegetable protein, starch, carrageenan . The frequency of sampling is to be adjusted according to compliance to specifications. If wood chips or sawdust are used for smoke generation, their storage and use must not pose a sanitary hazard. )A=u!C(K CS The incorporation of ground meat or poultry pieces with intact muscle cuts is accomplished by mixing, tumbling or massaging the ground meat with the larger pieces. The cure or brine can be added to the tumbler mixer and be incorporated into the product by the physical action of tumbling. qMZYVB.Duel ?Iny{3@ CA9#cs..;"Ds#UbA9LPRRm), AP]Jl*'$bf;QIT|sVEsJ{xwf0!3+:,RK`nefZV5+_)2$P{dhL~YibSTL?&~6%xN,uD=L7_?[ 99-&hq?Q.OZ[Ml-+X--sFAEPa{1{n1` Fk&c These must include the following elements: Salting lowers the aw to achieve a reduction in water activity that retards the growth of microorganisms but does not alter the microbiological load of the incoming product. Archived information is provided for reference, research or record-keeping purposes only. 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. This is the preservation of meat products by the addition of ingredients and additives that reduce the water activity (aw). This plan is used when the equipment is first installed, when major components are replaced (e.g. Most common food-poisoning bacteria can grow from 0C up to 54C; however, their range of rapid growth is from 27C to 54C. Results must be reported in writing, identified as to the lot of product being tested and must include individual results for each test performed, method used and minimum sensitivity of the test used. The operator's control programs must include ongoing verification that the operating procedures and equipment used to make the meat product on a day-to-day basis will deliver the manufacturing process as designed. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. Meat products which have been frozen and thawed for sale in a refrigerated state must be labelled in accordance with article B.01.080 of the Food and Drug Regulations as "previously frozen". The submission must be accompanied by detailed recipe, formulation and processing information for the product. It includes minced meat (pork, poultry, or other food animals) marketed as fresh, cooked, fermented, or smoked. Fermentation room temperature is 24C for the first 10 hours, 30C for the second 10 hours and 37C for the final 18 hours. endstream endobj startxref 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 have a control program in place for skinless MSM which includes a sampling plan. Oxidative rancidity and other organoleptic quality issues can occur if freezing rates are slow. Mincing fat and meat together, so as to make large to moderate to large proportions of fat less obtrusive ; Comminuted lean meat binds the whole mixture together especially in the presence of salt. 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. . The operator is required to use one of the five (5) options outlined in this section when manufacturing a dry or semi-dry fermented meat sausage product: Establishments which do not use beef and do not obtain meat ingredients from establishments which handle beef are not currently required to use one of the five options for the control of E.coliO157:H7 in dry/semi-dry fermented sausages.
