or when major repairs are made. These meat products have been heated to improve their appearance or flavor but the process does not result in a ready-to-eat product. %%EOF 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 . measures acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 as the neutral point. The existing reference listing will continue to be accessible on the CFIA website but will no longer be updated. Room or area temperatures must also ensure control of product temperature during processing activities, such that there is no increase in bacterial growth of the product that would affect the validation of any further lethality step or validation of product shelf life. Include as part of the manufacture of the sausage, one of the following heat processes which are recognized as controlling E.coliO157:H7. Requirements for processed meat products are governed by the both the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). 1. National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Research Report Number 11-316, Chicago, Illinois, 1996. Temperature and humidity should be uniform throughout the fermentation room. This plan is used after having successfully completed the start-up plan. control of egg shells to prevent contamination; egg shells and defective eggs must be handled as inedible product; and. Operators are responsible for establishing appropriate best before dates which take into account the length of time elapsed before the product was originally frozen. Environmental and product samples in ready-to-eat products are required. Every effort must be made to prevent the meat products from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of any shipping containers during filling. The texture and eating quality of the products are therefore superior to the raw materials used and are hence more desirable to consumers. Upon arrival of the raw material at the establishment or prior to the processing of the material, the operator must perform a random selection of 20 carcasses or 20 units per combo or a lot of similar size. These must include: If product is chemically acidified by addition of citric acid, gluconodelta-lactone or another chemical agent approved for this purpose, controls must be in place and records kept to ensure that a pH of 5.3 or lower is achieved by the end of the fermentation process. It must indicate the minimum internal temperature reached during the process and, where applicable, the minimum holding (or dwell) time at the minimum internal temperature. When steam is generated, it must be properly vented out of the area and not allowed to permeate into adjoining rooms. 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. 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 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. 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 ). The operator must have a control program in place for skinless MSM which includes a sampling plan. 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. 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. The aw may be reduced by adding solutes (salt, sugar) or removing moisture. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Based on 3 documents Examples of COMMINUTED MEAT in a sentence the Food Safety Enhancement Program Manual (FSEP) published by the Agency, as amended from time to time. . 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 accuracy of these must be checked periodically against a mercury thermometer. Storage conditions must in accordance with. This gives us the following final recipe: 50.6kg of skinless pork trim + 4.4kg of pork skin 23kg of pork MSM without skin + 2kg of pork skin 20kg of water. For more information see Chapter 7. 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. }@ The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. 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. Degrees above 15.6C: 37C - 15.6C = 21.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 18 Degree-hours calculation: (21.4C) x (18) = 385.2 degree-hours, Degree-hours calculation for the entire fermentation process = 84 + 144 + 385.2 = 613.2, Conclusion: Example 2 does not meet the guidelines because its degree-hours exceed the limit; hold the product and refer to sub-section 4.16.2.1.3. Please refer to Chapter 3.6, Pre-requisite Programs for the requirements for acceptable packaging materials and non-food chemical products. The submission must be accompanied by detailed recipe, formulation and processing information for the product. to substantially change the appearance or nature of a meat product. Comminuted meat can also be called mechanically de -boned meat ( MDM ). 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. It must be remembered that a reduction in water activity neither destroys microorganisms nor toxins; it only retards the growth of microorganisms. Operators of registered establishments who wish to market a meat product without a refrigeration declaration which does not meet the "shelf stable" criteria set out above, must submit a request for the acceptance of their proposal to the Inspector in Charge. For the purposes of sampling, "NRTE comminuted poultry product" is any raw non-breaded, non- battered raw poultry product that has been (1) ground, (2) mechanically separated, or (3) hand- or mechanically-deboned and further chopped, flaked, minced, or otherwise processed to Comminuted. The instructions for use, maintenance and calibration of measurement devices and instruments must be included in the operator's prerequisite programs and HACCP system. The Food and Drug Regulations (Divisions 14 and 22) and the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (Schedule I) prescribe the standards for meat products manufactured in Canada. 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 rejected product must be reworked and resubmitted for sampling, returned to the originator, or treated as inedible product. Fermented products which do not meet these requirements must be labelled with a refrigeration statement. Three separate formulation batches can, however, be processed concurrently following stuffing. . The standards for lard, shortening and tallow are listed in Schedule I of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. End product sampling for Clostridium perfringens (viable cells) can be done as an additional safety measure but is not sufficient on its own. The sample plan must be representative of the lot. When the fermentation takes place at various temperatures, each temperature step in the process is analyzed for the number of degree-hours it contributes. treatment with enzymes (enzymes that are approved for use in Canada as defined in the Food and Drug Regulations- Division 16, Table 5); holding muscles in traction during rigor mortis; use of fibre breakers or other mechanical means (needles, blades); The temperature in the drying chamber/room must be uniform and controlled to prevent any fluctuation that could impact on the safety of the final product. Mechanical meat/bone separation equipment operates by using mechanical pressure to separate muscle tissue from the attached bones. 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. Above a critical temperature of 15.6C, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production can take place. The following processes have been scientifically validated as achieving a 5D or greater reduction of E.coliO157:H7. If kept hot, cooked meat products should always be kept at 60C or above. Where processing equipment, such as automated grinding, mechanical separation and other comminuting procedures, produce enough heat that could warm up the product's internal temperature significantly, the specific hazard for temperature abuse must be accounted for in the operator's HACCP system. Reducing fat and salt in comminuted meat products may therefore have a significant positive effect on public health in countries with a high consumption of these meats. In the case of protein the results must be rounded to the nearest 0.1% (i.e. For sausages, the minimum meat content is lower, with 42% needed for pork sausages, 26% for bird and/or rabbit sausages, and 30% for other meat sausages. Fermentation and smoking chambers must be equipped with a recording thermometer for determining degree-hours calculations in a reliable manner. frozen immediately after the deboning process. The restructuring technology of meat originated in the 1960s. This option specifically requires a microbiological testing program of raw meat and batter for E.coli0157:H7 and Salmonella as part of the operator's existing HACCP system and a manufacturing process (fermentation and holding, heating and/or drying) which has been scientifically validated as achieving at least 2D reduction of E.coliO157:H7. 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. Examination results must be retained for a minimum of one year. YES = FULLY COOKED An edible product resulting from the mechanical separation and removal of most of the bone from attached skeletal muscle of livestock or poultry carcasses. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. 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. 1025 0 obj <>stream This gives us the following final recipe: 50.6kg of skinless pork trim + 4.4kg of pork skin 25kg of pork MSM 20kg of water, 25kg of pork MSM without skin 20kg of water xkg of pork skin. Chilling begins immediately after the cooking cycle is completed and according to section 4.5 of this chapter. a separating drum or filter, separating screens, screen plates or perforated screen, feeding screw [i.e. Example include to debone, comminute, preserve, dehydrate, ferment, render or assemble with an ingredient other than a meat product, but does not include to dress, trim, refrigerate, freeze or defrost. Packaging materials include cartons, wrapping materials, films, synthetic casings, nettings, trays, pouches, bags and any other material which may come into contact with a meat product. Whenever there is a cooling deviation, if the operator intends to distribute the product, they must conduct a risk assessment on the product. Product will be held under the control of the operator until the written results of analysis have been received. 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. . High pressure processing is an approved post-lethality, post-packaging intervention step for RTE meats for the control of Listeriaspp. Aging of beef has traditionally been used to increase tenderness and flavour and involves holding a carcass for up to 14 days under refrigeration. Concerning the acceptability of packaging material to high pressure processing, packaging material companies should send their requests to the CFIA's Food Safety Risk Analysis. Examine the product, classify defects using the defect criteria table and determine acceptance or rejection according to the sampling plan. One defect is defined as a carcass or unit with kidney (when not acceptable) and/or lung. )A=u!C(K CS a plastic bag) so that at the end of the lot run it will contain about 600 grams of product. Each production lot must be tested for aw and/or pH in order to verify that the critical limits are met. If the cumulative number of defects found is equal to or greater than 5, the lot must be rejected. Comminuted meat products are significant contributors to consumer fat and salt intakes, which are currently above World Health Organization recommended levels. Therefore, the operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. 4in2). Bones, carcasses or parts of a carcass must be kept or transported at time/temperature combinations that will ensure their hygienic acceptability when used for mechanical separation. This includes the use of cans, glass jars, retortable pouches or other containers. Examples of how to use the calculation method for constant temperature processes: Fermentation room temperature is a constant 26C. The operator must notify the CFIA of each case where degree-hours limits have been exceeded. 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. Kidneys may be left in FTM/MSM input materials where the product is labelled as containing kidneys and is produced for export or for use other than as an ingredient in a prepared meat product. The ground or emulsified trimmings originate from like cuts of meat. The minimum sampling size and schedule per boning line should be 15kg for each 30minutes of production (random time sampling twice hourly). 1=LB S0H,J78)iP fAq! procedures implemented by operators in the post-lethality processing environment to control or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. The added 8% can only be applied to products which have skin on them (for example, it would not apply to beef tongues or gizzards). spores to dangerous levels during the interval following cooking. A food contact surface (FCS) is any surface or object that comes into contact with the meat product. %PDF-1.6 % worm], etc.) The operator must control the risk of cross contamination from non cleaned containers. There are no mandatory labelling requirements associated with the use of high pressure processing. Subsequently, it has been. The drying chamber/room must be equipped with a shatter resistant indicating thermometer (or equivalent), with graduations of 1. In determining whether a requirement is necessary, appropriate, adequate, or sufficient to achieve the objectives of the Regulations, account should be taken of the nature of the operation/activity and of its intended use. includes milk, egg, yeast or any vegetable material or any derivative or combination thereof that is edible, and that is not visibly distinguishable after addition to the meat product, but does not include beetroot, tomato or a food additive with the exception of modified starches, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means an edible meat product that does not contain more than 0.15 per cent of calcium in the product and any bone particles larger than 1.5mm in size and a maximum of 20% of the bone particles larger than 1mm in size, that was obtained by removing most of the bone and cartilage from a comminuted meat product from which the bone and cartilage had not been previously removed. Smoke racks (trees) and the interiors of smokehouses must be adequately cleaned to prevent the contamination of meat products with soot. Equipment used in the fermentation process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. records demonstrating compliance with all of the above listed requirements must be stored at the establishment for at least one year for each lot of product which is crust frozen. a meat product that has been subjected to a lethality process sufficient to inactivate vegetative pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins and control spores of foodborne pathogenic bacteria so that the meat product does not require further preparation before consumption except washing, thawing or exposing the product to sufficient heat to warm the product without cooking it, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. the ingredients of the meat product and the components of the ingredients, including food additives, and the proportions of those ingredients and components. Stuffing product into casings: Inoculated product should be stuffed into casing as usual to approximate normal production procedures.
