An establishment must use option 3 if option 1, 2, 4 or 5 are not used. Fermentation, drying and smoking chambers must be equipped with a shatter resistant indicating thermometer, (or equivalent), with graduations of 1. Start studying processed meats and non-meat ingredients. This means that the food must contain only the ingredients included in the standard, within the limits established by the standard. The pressure is released and the treated containers are packed and ready for shipping. The number of defects in the first and second sample must be totalled. Freezing as an application for destruction of the parasites Trichinella, and Cysticercus, is described in Annex B of this chapter and Chapter 17 respectively. 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. National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Research Report Number 11-316, Chicago, Illinois, 1996. It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the procedures for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. Other parameters in evaluating the deviation must be taken into account. 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. a shipment or part of a shipment of boneless manufacturing meat derived from a single species going to a single destination; or. 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. It is the operator's responsibility to develop and implement Control Programs that meet the requirements outlined in this section. The definition of lot for the purposes of sampling must be statistically sound and must correspond to product manufactured under the same conditions. . 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). If the operator chooses to use methods for the control programs, other than those outlined above, these must be evaluated by the CFIA to ensure that they reach the same outcome, taking into account volume of production. The manufacturing process used must be evaluated in a scientific manner consistent with the challenge study recommendations (refer to Option 5) of this section. The operator must prevent leakage. Rapid chilling methods which temporarily freeze a thin outer layer of skin and muscle (usually 3 to 4mm thick) may be allowed under the following conditions: The operators must have procedures for control of environmental sources of contamination of meat product, including disposition of meat that has fallen on the floor, risk of contamination from condensation and storage of equipment. Refer to section 4.5 for these requirements. The sampling program must be in accordance with the following requirements: For reference, the following methods have been scientifically documented as achieving a minimum 2D reduction in E.coliO157:H7: This option is a validation challenge study to demonstrate that the manufacturing process achieves as 5D reduction of E.coli 0157:H7. 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 degree-hours limit for the entire fermentation process is based on the highest temperature reached during fermentation. 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. Select a 10 unit sample at random and examine for the presence of skin. They are produced from comminuted or finely homogenized meat, mechanically recovered meat, poultry or fish. Unlike cooked ready-to-eat meat products, the operator is not required to verify at the time of manufacture that non ready-to-eat products have been subjected to a minimum amount of thermal lethality. Trimmings from Non-Intact : Raw ground, comminuted, or ; Chicken Ground Product : otherwise non-intact chicken . meat products. Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. 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. These meat products have been heated to improve their appearance or flavor but the process does not result in a ready-to-eat product. Annex G: The content of this Annex has been removed due to discontinuation of the starter culture review program. 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. 1 log10 reduction = a tenfold reduction (1 x 101) = a 1D reduction 2 log10 reduction = a hundredfold reduction (1 x 102) = a 2D reduction 3 log10 reduction = a thousandfold reduction (1 x 103) = a 3D reduction etc. 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. 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. 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. measures acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 as the neutral point. A number of manufacturing processes have been scientifically demonstrated as achieving a 2D to 5D reduction. For each lot, the operator must take 15 samples of raw batter and submit them for analysis. If the number of defects found is between 1 and 4, a second sample of 20 units must be evaluated. For the purposes of this section a lot is whichever is the lesser of: Evaluation technique of CFIA inspectors, in which samples are taken from the assembled "lot" of product to determine its wholesomeness. immediately placed in a freezer and frozen within 48 hours of boning. (See. Certain strains of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus are capable of producing a highly heat stable toxin that causes illness in humans. The manufacturing process must allow an extra 5 seconds of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. 4in2). 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. Alternative temperature control measures must provide the same or better outcome. The operator must maintain suitable records to demonstrate that all of the critical control points (CCP) for the process have been met (for example, casing diameter, fermentation room (green room) thermographs, pH at the end of the fermentation step of the process, aw.). The use of a non-inhibitory, food grade, green dye added to the inoculum may aid in determining the uniform distribution of inoculum. Depending on the composition of the final product, the resulting edible product is referred to as finely textured meat or mechanically separated meat (e.g. (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. 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. No. 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. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools. 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 ). 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. Sausage can be manufactured on a small scale by homogenizing meat with ice (for temperature control) using a bowl-chopper. In normal conditions, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins are not produced below aw 0.86, although in vacuum packed products this is unlikely below aw 0.89. These ingredients also reduce the cost of meat products. A process can be judged as acceptable provided the product consistently reaches a pH of 5.3 using: When fermentation is done at a constant temperature, operators can either use the following table or the calculation method (see examples below) for determining degree-hours limits and maximum time for fermentation at a given room temperature. In respect of food or other materials, products that are capable of existing together in the same area, at the same time without creating a risk of adulterating meat products. If kept hot, cooked meat products should always be kept at 60C or above. When steam is generated, it must be properly vented out of the area and not allowed to permeate into adjoining rooms. Degrees above 15.6C: 24C - 15.6C = 8.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 10 Degree-hours calculation: (8.4C) x (10) = 84 degree-hours, Degrees above 15.6C: 30C - 15.6C = 14.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 10 Degree-hours calculation: (14.4C) x (10) = 144 degree-hours, Degrees above 15.6C: 35C - 15.6C = 19.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 15 Degree-hours calculation: (19.4C) x (15) = 291 degree-hours, Degree-hours calculation for the entire fermentation process = 84 + 144 + 291 = 519, The corresponding degree-hour limit = 555 (between 33C and 37C). The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. the operator must submit to the Inspection In Charge, a written documented protocol for each product, outlining how the product will be identified and segregated into lots, the packaging method, type and temperature of the coolant, the duration of exposure to sub-freezing temperatures and the time period and location for the equilibrium of internal and external product temperatures such that an internal temperature is achieved at or below 4. This form of preservation depends on a lowering of the water activity (aw) of the product to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Home. 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. ", ensuring that they will yield the appropriate, ensuring that the instructions are representative of the cooking devices available to the consumer; and. The washing and rinsing must ensure that the containers are visibly clean. The proposal must be supported by scientific data to validate the submission. The operator must have deviation procedures for product which does not meet the standards outlined in 4.3.3. Conclusion: Example 1 meets the guideline because its degree-hours are less than the limit. 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. A major reason for the difference in thiamin content in some comminuted meat products between US and UK tables, is the use of a preservative in UK, namely sulphur dioxide, which destroys most of the . 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. 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 indicate the minimum internal temperature reached during the process and, where applicable, the minimum holding (or dwell) time at the minimum internal temperature. 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. The operator is required to maintain a listing of all of the packaging material used in the establishment. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. 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. Nitrite or nitrate salts or both, in combination with salt (NaCl) and other curing aids are added to meat products to improve colour, texture and flavour and to prevent or delay undesirable microbial growth and toxin production. Refer to Annex P of this chapter for the CFIA procedures to evaluate bulk container freezing processes for meat products. Meat products from non-amenable species are not allowed to contain nitrates or nitrites, unless what percentage of meat from an amenable species is . Comminuted meat products are significant contributors to consumer fat and salt intakes, which are currently above World Health Organization recommended levels. The standards for lard, shortening and tallow are listed in Schedule I of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. For example, in comminuted meats, the ability of a muscle Only product packaged in sealed bags may be shipped in these shipping containers without lids. The accuracy of these must be checked periodically against a mercury thermometer. Pe`~$/0X.H`87w Pc`T 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. 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. 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). Temperature and humidity should be uniform throughout the fermentation room. 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; Comminuted meat is ground meat. The potential increase in the concentration of Clostridium perfringens during cooling depends on the concentration of heat resistant spores in the 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. 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. %%EOF Records of microbiological tests performed on ingredients must be available to the inspector on request. 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. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. In this case, the final product is in a form that is not edible without additional . * PSI: Pounds per square inch ** MPa: Megapascal. Fermented products which do not meet these requirements must be labelled with a refrigeration statement. MSM made from skinless raw material may be labelled as "Skinless - Sans peau". also wrapped in natural casing), to a limit of 3% in weight of the new meat product. 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. salted, pickled, dried, cured, smoked or treated by other similar means, but does not include refrigerated or frozen. Equipment used in the fermentation process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. This includes the use of cans, glass jars, retortable pouches or other containers. This process may be used as an additional step to enhance the microbiological safety of these products. Review of the cooking process and product formulation must also be done. 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. They can not have perforations; if perforated, a liner must be used. Microbial testing alone is not sufficient for this purpose. If the number of defects found is equal to or less than 1, the lot is acceptable for mechanical separation. Only pieces which have naturally adhering skin can be used to make MSM; detached skin or pieces which have loose skin flaps cannot be used. hb```,@(qPTQL;6T&M#jrv)F=B . Equipment used in the dehydration process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. The protocol will then be evaluated by the National Specialist, Meat Processing in collaboration with the food safety group. . This material will be screened by the Inspector in Charge and forwarded to the Area Program Specialist for verification. Cooling must be continuous and begins immediately after the heating cycle is completed. 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.
