High pressure processing is an approved post-lethality, post-packaging intervention step for RTE meats for the control of Listeriaspp. Freezing prevents the growth of, but does not destroy, microorganisms in food products. the Food Safety Enhancement Program Manual (FSEP) published by the Agency, as amended from time to time. 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). 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. 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. An establishment must use option 3 if option 1, 2, 4 or 5 are not used. It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the control program for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. Once this is achieved, the monitoring plan can be used. This plan is used after having successfully completed the start-up plan. 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. Reducing fat and salt in. Records of test results must be kept for a minimum of 24 months beyond the release date of the product. The presence of lung is defined as a part of lung measuring at least 1cm x 1cm. 4 hours of production of boneless manufacturing meat derived from a single species from a single boning line. cooking the product so it reaches an internal temperature of 71, an alternative challenge study of a design acceptable to the, storage of bulk restricted curing agents must be in a locked area; and. The washing and rinsing must ensure that the containers are visibly clean. 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. The texture and eating quality of the products are therefore superior to the raw materials used and are hence more desirable to consumers. hM6E+ 23(toft%Q&/|5)^0~#3w{hH|h0F#G#G?5x=)c/. Fermentation relies on good control over a complex and precise combination of time, temperature, nitrites, salt concentration, pH and aw factors to ensure food safety. (1) No person shall sell an article of food that. 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. . Requirements for processed meat products are governed by the both the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). the words "must be cooked", "raw product", "uncooked" or any equivalent words or word as part of the common name of the product to indicate that the product requires cooking before consumption; and, comprehensive cooking instructions such as an internal temperature-time relationship that, if followed, will result in a ready-to-eat meat product. If the cumulative number of defects found is equal to or less than 4, the lot is acceptable for mechanical separation. 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 chilling process must be monitored to demonstrate that each lot complies with the validated established cooling schedules. Example: If 2.8% of salt in the formulation and the end product has a moisture level of 72%, the brine concentration is: {(2.8/100) / [(2.8/100) + (72/100)]} X 100 = [0.028 / (0.028 + 0.72)] X 100 = 2.8 / 0.748 = 3.74%. This station must be equipped with a directly drained and remote controlled or timed hand wash facility, an 82C water sanitizer and adequate lighting. 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. This includes the use of cans, glass jars, retortable pouches or other containers. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. Kidneys and lungs must be removed from poultry carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation. See Annex O for policy specifications on the detection of E.coliO157:H7 in raw beef. 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. Sausages in natural casings are only allowed as rework material in the preparation of equivalent meat products (i.e. For the purpose of this sampling plan the definition of a lot is the same as in the above item 4.3.3.2 Control of Lungs and Kidneys in Poultry Carcasses and Parts of Carcasses. Review of the cooking process and product formulation must also be done. 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, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. the ability of a given heating process to kill bacteria. Select a 10 unit sample at random and examine for the presence of skin. Refrigerated meat products which have been previously heat processed must not be packaged until chilled to 4C unless it can be demonstrated, through a process validation, that packaging does not interfere with the cooling schedule or the product safety. The operator must make a request for the evaluation of the alternative manufacturing process to the Meat Programs Division and the Food Safety Division. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. 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. 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. 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. Such lots must be held and samples of product submitted for microbiological laboratory examination after the drying period has been completed. the spinal cord must be removed from ruminant, equine and porcine carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation. Time and temperature controls will be documented in the same manner as is required for other similar cooking processes (refer to section 4.4 of this chapter). The formulation of all prepared meat products, including potential allergens, must be controlled as part of the operator's HACCP system. WF-R ANIMAL SCIENCE 1WF-R ANIMAL SCIENCE 1 SOLUBLE PROTEINS Required in binding the pieces of meat together in processed products The higher the amount of soluble proteins, the better the binding of the meat particles would be. 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. Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. Processing rooms (cutting and boning, formulation rooms, kitchens, packaging, etc.) For each lot, the operator must take 30 samples of finished product and submit them for analysis. The combination used must provide enough heat energy to achieve at least a: A validation referencing a combination of internal product temperatures and minimum holding time (Annex D), or submission of a scientifically validated alternative from a Process Authority that suitably demonstrates that the manufacturing process is designed to deliver the necessary amount of thermal lethality. This is defined as the inclusion of a prepared meat product into another meat product. !gf)\)gQY>s OkHBPkqy6E&n! It is no longer mandatory to register packaging materials and non-food chemicals. An evaluation technique of the operator in which samples are taken from the assembled lot of product. Certain strains of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus are capable of producing a highly heat stable toxin that causes illness in humans. When using shipping containers without a lid, the bottom of the stacked shipping containers must not be supported by the shipping containers below. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. A notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. The potential increase in the concentration of Clostridium perfringens during cooling depends on the concentration of heat resistant spores in the product. Comminuting processes include mechanical separation, flaking and grinding. For all fermented meat products, in order to minimize the danger of outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum spores and development of the botulinal toxin in fermented product, nitrite/nitrate shall be added at a minimum level of 100ppm along with a minimum of 2.5% of salt. The definition of lot for the purposes of sampling must be statistically sound and must correspond to product manufactured under the same conditions. The exact source and quantity of ground meat must be indicated in the product formulation on label submittals. (1) Subject to subsection (2) and section 121, no meat product shall be identified as edible unless, 22.1. Smoking is used mainly for flavouring and development of surface colouring in meat products. in respect of activities taking place in a registered establishment, activities that can take place at the same time, in the same area and do not create a risk of adulterating meat products. Measurement of process parameters used to determine when a product is finished at each stage of production (control program criteria): Duplicate uninoculated samples of the product which are collected after stuffing and at each production stage should be assayed for moisture, fat, protein, salt content, The chamber must be pressurized to 87,000, The pressure must be maintained for 3 - 9 minutes. 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. composition, for certain meat and poultry products. %%EOF The operator is required to implement a microbiological testing program for E.coli0157 and Salmonella as a verification procedure for their process. Most common food-poisoning bacteria can grow from 0C up to 54C; however, their range of rapid growth is from 27C to 54C. The process may be designed to achieve surface heating only; however, the product must be immediately cooled to 4C within the requirements of section 4.5 of this chapter. In FTM, hand or mechanically deboned trimmings that contain bone particles or cartilage may be used. product is further processed, assembled, or packaged so that cooked meat or poultry products contacts non-ready to-eat product ingredients. A shorter length may be used as long as the length is approximately twice the diameter of the stuffed casing. COMMINUTED MEAT. 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 restructuring technology of meat originated in the 1960s. The rate of freezing is important to prevent growth of microorganisms or production of their toxins prior to the product reaching freezing temperatures. This means that the food must contain only the ingredients included in the standard, within the limits established by the standard. Trimmings from Non-Intact : Raw ground, comminuted, or ; Chicken Ground Product : otherwise non-intact chicken . 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. The level of nitrate-nitrite should not interfere with the process of fermentation. Other parameters in evaluating the deviation must be taken into account. For example, for "other comminuted", collect fresh raw sausage and fresh raw patties. We shall be principally concerned with cooked sausage which is intended to be bound together with some degree of strength in its manufacture. If the shift is 8 hours (480 minutes) sampling must be done every 24 minutes (480/20 = 24 minutes). Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. The following processes have been scientifically validated as achieving a 5D or greater reduction of E.coliO157:H7. The operator's approved alternative plan is then monitored by the CFIA. Development of healthier meat products is needed to meet consumers' request. Drying and aging rooms must be equipped with humidity recorders in order to prevent uncontrolled fluctuations of the relative humidity. 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. The only alternative to an automatic humidity recorder in these rooms would be for the company to manually monitor and record ambient humidity twice a day (morning and afternoon) every day with a properly calibrated portable humidity recorder. Acceptably constructed combo bins may be used for storage and transportation of refrigerated or frozen meat products. It is recommended that holding freezers be capable of maintaining temperatures of -18C or colder. This validation should not be conducted within an actual food manufacturing facility. qF 1`rA!w) ] Non-comminuted. 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. (a) has in or on it any poisonous or harmful substance; (c) consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, disgusting, rotten, decomposed or diseased animal or vegetable substance; (e) was manufactured, prepared, preserved, packaged or stored under unsanitary conditions. most products have a specific flavor profile may be influenced by region, culture. 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. The degree-hours limit for the entire fermentation process is based on the highest temperature reached during fermentation. Contact the CFIA Area Program Specialist for information for approved antimicrobial agents for meat products. 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. h76Nn7;93|x`qI4$`3s 'N,8]3P`YhpIxr9O*B W N8NF ?yIgZX[B4j{e >`=b/4{[`WOJ:\ [M The set of measures applied to protect a cooked meat product against the possible outgrowth of heat shocked Clostridiumspp. In the case of protein the results must be rounded to the nearest 0.1% (i.e. Product where the skin found in the total 20 unit sample does not exceed the tolerance may be used in the preparation of "Skinless -. Each sub-sample should be about 30 grams. Examples of how to use the calculation method for constant temperature processes: Fermentation room temperature is a constant 26C. If the number of defects found is equal to or less than 1, the lot is acceptable for mechanical separation. 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. It is the operator's responsibility to determine compatible areas and non-compatible areas for different processing steps, as part of the prerequisite program and HACCP system. The existing reference listing will continue to be accessible on the CFIA website but will no longer be updated. Unstandardized foods must meet also meet regulatory requirements under the FDR and MIR, such as those for minimum protein requirements. 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). 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. It must be remembered that a reduction in water activity neither destroys microorganisms nor toxins; it only retards the growth of microorganisms. Ground or emulsified trimmings may be injected in a quantity of up to 15% of the fresh weight at the time of formulation without having to be declared on the label. Examination results must be retained for a minimum of one year. Cooked products that are cooled from 54C to 18C within 2 hours may be held for up to 4 hours if they are: Any deviation from the approved process must be assessed by the operator as part of the establishment control programs. Every effort must be made to prevent the meat products from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of any shipping containers during filling. When the aw of a product is a critical limit set out in the manufacturing process for a meat product, accurate measurement devices must be employed. 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.
