2 Hinkens, J.C., et al, Validation of Pepperoni Processes for Control of Escherichia coliO157:H7, Journal of Food Protection, Volume 59, Number 12, 1996, pp. 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. Therefore, total number of samples for microbiological analysis: Time zero (0) = 2 After fermentation = 0 During drying = 0 End drying = 2 Total = 4 Number of replicates x 3 Total samples = 12. It includes minced meat (pork, poultry, or other food animals) marketed as fresh, cooked, fermented, or smoked. 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. 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 must implement a program for the control of aging and tenderizing processes. The standards for lard, shortening and tallow are listed in Schedule I of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. Fermentation and smoking chambers must be equipped with a recording thermometer for determining degree-hours calculations in a reliable manner. a plastic bag) so that at the end of the lot run it will contain about 600 grams of product. 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. }@ 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. Freezing reduces the temperature of a meat product below the freezing point, changing the state of water from liquid to solid form (ice). comminuted meat products Aging of beef has traditionally been used to increase tenderness and flavour and involves holding a carcass for up to 14 days under refrigeration. provide instructions to achieve a 6.5D or 7.0D reduction in Salmonellaspp.). 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 Whenever there is a cooling deviation, if the operator intends to distribute the product, they must conduct a risk assessment on the product. The shift must be a minimum of 4 hours to be considered in this start-up plan, unless the operator's normal operating shift is less than 4 hours. If an establishment which is required to do end product testing as per option 3 refuses to do the required testing on the finished product, the CFIA must detain the affected product, take measures to prevent cross-contamination of other product and inform the establishment that, if they do not provide the necessary test results within 60 days, the affected product will be treated as inedible and condemned. Pasteurization of packaged ready-to-eat meat products may be used to extend shelf life and to prevent pathogen growth in ready-to-eat meat products. The level of nitrate-nitrite should not interfere with the process of fermentation. Annex G: The content of this Annex has been removed due to discontinuation of the starter culture review program. 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. Trimmings from Non-Intact : Raw ground, comminuted, or ; Chicken Ground Product : otherwise non-intact chicken . 1025 0 obj <>stream See Annex O for policy specifications on the detection of E.coliO157:H7 in raw beef. a point in a process at which control is to be applied in order to prevent or eliminate a hazard or reduce a hazard to an acceptable level, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. the minimum or maximum value to which a hazard must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent or eliminate the hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. in respect of an edible meat product, that salt together with at least 100 parts per million (ppm), but not more than 200ppm, of sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite, sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate, or any combination thereof, except in the case of side bacon, where the maximum is 120ppm, calculated prior to any smoking, cooking or fermentation. Operators should validate that their processes reduce the core temperature of products preserved by freezing, to a core temperature of -18C within a time frame allowing for the preservation of organoleptic and microbiological qualities. 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. Smoke racks (trees) and the interiors of smokehouses must be adequately cleaned to prevent the contamination of meat products with soot. A manufacturing process specified in writing by the operator and used to cook a particular meat product. The operator must ensure that the monitoring limits used in their manufacturing process are adjusted by at least the amount of degrees or time specified by the equipment manufacturer as the acceptable measurement error. If the number of defects found is equal to or greater than 4, the lot must be rejected. 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 number of defects in the first and second sample must be totalled. Refer to Annex P of this chapter for the CFIA procedures to evaluate bulk container freezing processes for meat products. The rate of freezing is important to prevent growth of microorganisms or production of their toxins prior to the product reaching freezing temperatures. The sample to be analysed shall consist of 20 sub-samples taken during the lot run. fewer than 665 degree-hours when the highest fermentation temperature is less than 33, fewer than 555 degree-hours when the highest fermentation temperature is between 33 and 37, fewer than 500 degree-hours when the highest fermentation temperature is greater than 37, If the bacteriological evaluation proves that there are fewer than 10. establishments which use beef as an ingredient in a dry or semi-dry fermented meat sausage; establishments which store or handle uncooked beef on site; establishments which obtain raw meat from a supplying establishment which stores or handles uncooked beef on site. 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". 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. Until such confirmation is received, the operator must manufacture product in accordance to one of the other 4 options outlined in this section. Worst case scenarios must be included, specifically, the coldest spot of both the equipment and the product. 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. 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. Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. This means that the food must contain only the ingredients included in the standard, within the limits established by the standard. Important to sausages, reformed hams and other comminuted meat products 11. 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. This is defined as the inclusion of a prepared meat product into another meat product. The exact source and quantity of ground meat must be indicated in the product formulation on label submittals. Chilling begins immediately after the cooking cycle is completed and according to section 4.5 of this chapter. Is the product a comminuted product other than sausage/sausage link (e.g., patty or meatball) or a breaded or unbreaded molded product (e.g., nugget)? 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. includes a processed egg as defined in the Processed Egg Regulations, or an egg that has been graded Canada A under the Egg Regulations, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means an edible meat product to which a meat product extender has been added, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means a process which promotes the growth of lactic acid bacteria in order to acidify the product. 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 sample plan must be representative of the lot. The equipment operates on the differing resistance of bone and soft tissue to pass through small openings, such as sieves or screens. The restructuring technology of meat originated in the 1960s. The operator must demonstrate compliance of the final product to Schedule I of the MIR. This page was archived due to the coming into force of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations. It takes 40 hours for the pH to reach 5.3. maintained at a temperature not exceeding 10. Examples of how to use the calculation method for constant temperature processes: Fermentation room temperature is a constant 26C. Examples include: cured, cooked ham; cured, cooked pork shoulder; canned chicken meat; meat pieces boiled in soy sauce (tsukudani); pre-grilled beef patties; foie gras and pates; brawn and head cheese; cooked, cured chopped meat; chopped meat boiled in soy sauce (tsukudani); canned corned beef; luncheon meats; meat pastes; cooked meat patties; Select a 10 unit sample at random and examine for the presence of skin. Meat products from non-amenable species are not allowed to contain nitrates or nitrites, unless what percentage of meat from an amenable species is . See Annex H for mandatory requirements for Listeriaspp. The text will be the same size as the rest of the common name. 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. 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. products use small meat pieces, chunks, chips or slices. 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. In order to be considered "shelf-stable" and not require refrigeration, a fermented meat product must have a minimum of 100ppm nitrite/nitrate, a minimum of 2.5% of salt, meet degree hours requirements (4.16.2.1) and meet one of the following sets of specific requirements. 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. Smokehouses must be adequately vented. Examples: Determination of the quantity of pork skin which may be added to the following recipes: 25kg of pork MSM 20kg of water xkg of pork skin. Pickling, the addition of an acidulant such as acetic acid or citric acid, lowers the pH value of the meat product. These meat products have been heated to improve their appearance or flavor but the process does not result in a ready-to-eat product. Operator's examination technique in which product is sampled from each production line or common source at a specified frequency to determine the ability of the process to produce wholesome product. 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. Submissions will be sent to the Area Program Specialist for review with a Food Safety Microbiology Specialist and Health Canada. 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. (b) the procedures to ensure compliance with the performance requirements set out in the Manual of Procedures. Products containing more than 15% of ground or emulsified trimmings must be labelled to indicate the presence of ground trimmings into the whole muscle piece of meat. Operators are responsible for determining whether their meat product is ready-to-eat (RTE) according to this section. Subjects. Freezing as an application for destruction of the parasites Trichinella, and Cysticercus, is described in Annex B of this chapter and Chapter 17 respectively. They can not have perforations; if perforated, a liner must be used. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. The minimum sampling size and schedule per boning line should be 15kg for each 30minutes of production (random time sampling twice hourly). Defrosting or thawing may be performed in air or water. 36. Packaging materials used for this purpose must be specifically designed to withstand the pasteurization process. Sampling plans, methods and criteria for disposition of lots of boneless meat are found in Annex F, Part 1. 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. (1) No person shall sell an article of food that. ", ensuring that they will yield the appropriate, ensuring that the instructions are representative of the cooking devices available to the consumer; and. 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. 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. Degrees above 15.6C: 26C - 15.6C = 10.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 55 Degree-hours calculation: (10.4C) x (55) = 572 degree-hours. 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. * PSI: Pounds per square inch ** MPa: Megapascal. salted, pickled, dried, cured, smoked or treated by other similar means, but does not include refrigerated or frozen. 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. 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. 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. also wrapped in natural casing), to a limit of 3% in weight of the new meat product. 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. comminuted meat products 2-spices and ingredients. Subsequently, it has been. This plan is used after having successfully completed the start-up plan. 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. 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. must be equipped to accommodate the particular process or processes conducted therein. %PDF-1.6 % For instance, these standards may specify the kind and amount of meat or poultry, the maximum amount of non-meat and non-poultry ingredients, and any other ingredients allowed, or expected, in the final product. The protocol will then be evaluated by the National Specialist, Meat Processing in collaboration with the food safety group. Where this is not possible, the operator should utilize fermentation room temperatures. 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 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.
