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. 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. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. comminuted meat products 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. 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. Comminuting processes include mechanical separation, flaking and grinding. A number of manufacturing processes have been scientifically demonstrated as achieving a 2D to 5D reduction. Every operator that prepares meat products must prepare them in accordance with the process control requirements specified in the Manual of Procedures, 30.1 (1) The operator of an establishment shall develop, implement and maintain, 57.2 Every operator shall carry out control programs in accordance with the FSEP Manual and the Manual of Procedures to ensure that, 4. the spinal cord must be removed from ruminant, equine and porcine carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation.

Freezing as an application for destruction of the parasites Trichinella, and Cysticercus, is described in Annex B of this chapter and Chapter 17 respectively. The operator is required to implement a microbiological testing program for E.coli0157 and Salmonella as a verification procedure for their process. There have been a variety of studies on mediated polymerization of food proteins such as milk proteins, soybean proteins, egg proteins, chicken, gelatine and myosin. Establishments should separate the handling of cooked, partially cooked and raw products to prevent recontamination. 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. endstream endobj 6291 0 obj <>stream Requirements for processed meat products are governed by the both the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). For example, a 3D reduction would destroy 99.9% of the organisms. 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. %%EOF 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. Reject, hold and recondition product when defects exceed limits. For each lot, the operator must take 15 samples of raw batter and submit them for analysis. Comminuted meat is fish or meat products that are reduced in size and restructured or reformulated such as gyros, ground beef, and sausage; Comminuted meat products shall be thoroughly cooked to heat all parts of the meat to a minimum temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds. Only product packaged in sealed bags may be shipped in these shipping containers without lids. 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. measures acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 as the neutral point. Sampling plans, methods and criteria for disposition of lots of boneless meat are found in Annex F, Part 1. The text will be the same size as the rest of the common name. Pickling, the addition of an acidulant such as acetic acid or citric acid, lowers the pH value of the meat product. 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. Indicating and recording thermometers must be calibrated. This includes the use of cans, glass jars, retortable pouches or other containers. rllKJ3SJ jS#V? U? An unstandardized food is any product for which a standard is not prescribed in regulation. Records of microbiological tests performed on ingredients must be available to the inspector on request. 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. 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. It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the procedures for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. The level of nitrate-nitrite should not interfere with the process of fermentation. ", ensuring that they will yield the appropriate, ensuring that the instructions are representative of the cooking devices available to the consumer; and. It is recommended that holding freezers be capable of maintaining temperatures of -18C or colder. An establishment must use option 3 if option 1, 2, 4 or 5 are not used. YES = FULLY COOKED Until such confirmation is received, the operator must manufacture product in accordance to one of the other 4 options outlined in this section. . salted, pickled, dried, cured, smoked or treated by other similar means, but does not include refrigerated or frozen. This process accelerates the cure process and enhances the appearance of the finished product. control of egg shells to prevent contamination; egg shells and defective eggs must be handled as inedible product; and. 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. They can not have perforations; if perforated, a liner must be used. The drying chamber/room must be equipped with a shatter resistant indicating thermometer (or equivalent), with graduations of 1. 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. The exact source and quantity of ground meat must be indicated in the product formulation on label submittals. This is accomplished by drying-in air, the application of heat or by freeze-drying. The operator must notify the CFIA of each case where degree-hours limits have been exceeded. Cooling regimens for meat products should result in no more than a 1-log CFU/g increase of C. perfringens and no growth of C. botulinum. 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. )A=u!C(K CS For guidelines, refer to Annex F. If the operator chooses to use methods for the control programs, other than those outlined in Annex F, these must be evaluated by the CFIA to ensure that they reach the same outcome, taking into account volume of production, establishment layout and species of fresh meat. Annex G: The content of this Annex has been removed due to discontinuation of the starter culture review program. Sausage can be manufactured on a small scale by homogenizing meat with ice (for temperature control) using a bowl-chopper. The present disclosure generally relates to high protein puffed snack products including vegetable protein materials and a non-vegetable protein materials and processes for making high protein puffed snack products. It must be remembered that a reduction in water activity neither destroys microorganisms nor toxins; it only retards the growth of microorganisms. (c) the requirements of the Act and these Regulations are met in respect of the registered establishment, equipment, food animals, meat products, ingredients, food additives, chemical agents, packaging and labelling materials, training and any other requirement of a control program set out in the. Comminuted meat is ground meat. The Species designations Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is using for Public Health Information Services (PHIS) are: for Meat: beef, veal, goat, lamb, and pork; for Poultry: chicken, turkey, duck, geese, guineas, and squab, including for Ratites: emu, ostrich, and rhea. Reducing fat and salt in. 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. 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. Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. 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. This documentation package should include, but not be limited to, a recommendation from a process authority demonstrating that the alternate cooling process is as effective as the current performance standards. Smoke racks (trees) and the interiors of smokehouses must be adequately cleaned to prevent the contamination of meat products with soot. 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 rejected product must be reworked and resubmitted for sampling, returned to the originator, or treated as inedible product. temperature of shell eggs and processed egg must be maintained at 4. This program should outline specifications for the incoming ingredients. The operator is required to validate the preparation instructions: The operator is responsible for ensuring that all heat processed meat and poultry products are handled and chilled so that the product is maintained in a wholesome and unadulterated state. 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. 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). Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. A carcass re-inspection station located prior to cutting and/or boning is required for red meat and must be equipped as per MOP Chapter 3, section 3.4.12, Check Trim Station. This table is identical to the roast beef cooking table with one exception: the minimum processing time for a minimum internal product temperature of 145F/62.8C is 4 minutes instead of "instantaneous". The number of defects in the first and second sample must be totalled. The operator must have a control program in place to ensure proper removal of kidneys (when appropriate), and lungs in poultry carcasses and parts of carcasses used as raw material in the preparation of MSM or FTM. 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. Characterization of heat resistance of spores recovered from raw products would further facilitate the assessment of the cooling process parameters. The operator must demonstrate compliance of the final product to Schedule I of the MIR. Although aw measurement is mandatory only for shelf stable products, it is strongly recommended that the operator determine the aw values achieved for each product type they manufacture and for each production line. Cold smoke temperatures are generally less than 30C. 36. A manufacturing process specified in writing by the operator and used to cook a particular meat product. Product temperature is to be taken and recorded on a regular or continuous basis during storage to monitor compliance with these guidelines. 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. Canned food means commercially sterile low-acid or acidified low-acid food packed in hermetically sealed containers. 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. The required outcome is to control the growth of microorganisms in the room or area used for the processing, packaging, labelling or handling of meat products. It takes 38 hours for product to reach a pH of 5.3 or less. 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. Such lots must be held and samples of product submitted for microbiological laboratory examination after the drying period has been completed. Examination results must be retained for a minimum of one year. Comminuted meat products are significant contributors to consumer fat and salt intakes, which are currently above World Health Organization recommended levels. The sample plan must be representative of the lot. Storage conditions must in accordance with. Smokehouses must be adequately vented. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all the ingredients and components of the rework material are permitted in the meat product to which they are added. Unstandardized foods must meet also meet regulatory requirements under the FDR and MIR, such as those for minimum protein requirements. Where the manufacturing process does not correspond to one of the processes set out under options 1, 2 or 4 of this section and has not been assessed in accordance with option 5 of this section, the operator is required to test and hold each production lot pending satisfactory results. a separating drum or filter, separating screens, screen plates or perforated screen, feeding screw [i.e. endstream endobj 6290 0 obj <>stream Subsequently, it has been. 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 product is deemed acceptable, there must be scientific evidence to support this decision. Most comminuted products are classed as . Non-meat ingredients: Large numbers of non-meat ingredients are required for providing taste and improving quality. The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. . 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). 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. Product will be held under the control of the operator until the written results of analysis have been received. spores to dangerous levels during the interval following cooking. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. 6288 0 obj <>stream 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 cure or brine can be added to the tumbler mixer and be incorporated into the product by the physical action of tumbling. 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. 5 seconds when the minimum internal (dwell) time is at least 200 seconds. Under this option, it is not required to test each lot for E.coliO157:H7 or Salmonella. Comminuted meat products are significant contributors to consumer fat and salt intakes, which are currently above World Health Organization recommended levels. 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. The formulation of all prepared meat products, including potential allergens, must be controlled as part of the operator's HACCP system. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Based on 3 documents Examples of COMMINUTED MEAT in a sentence 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. 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). One defect is defined as a carcass or unit with kidney (when not acceptable) and/or lung. Acceptably constructed combo bins may be used for storage and transportation of refrigerated or frozen meat products. It takes 40 hours for the pH to reach 5.3. !gf)\)gQY>s OkHBPkqy6E&n!

Manufacturing processes used to make fermented sausages are only considered effective against E.coliO157:H7 if it is shown that they achieve a 5D reduction, or more, of E.coliO157:H7. Comminuted meat products include a wide range of consumable sausages: frankfurters, bologna, luncheon meats, smoked sausage, bratwursts, fresh sausage, ground meat, dry sausages and many others. (See. The degree-hours limit for the entire fermentation process is based on the highest temperature reached during fermentation. If the shift is 8 hours (480 minutes) sampling must be done every 24 minutes (480/20 = 24 minutes). to substantially change the appearance or nature of a meat product. Fermentation, drying and smoking chambers must be equipped with a shatter resistant indicating thermometer, (or equivalent), with graduations of 1. It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the control program for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. The total skin area of all sample units (up to 20) cannot exceed 25cm2 (i.e. A standardized meat product is one that has a standard prescribed by regulation. In order to be released, all tests must be negative for the presence of. The formation of ice concentrates the dissolved solutes and reduces the water activity of the meat product. These ingredients also reduce the cost of meat products. Once this is achieved, the monitoring plan can be used. Packaging procedures must be included it the operator's prerequisite programs and HACCP system. Examine the product, classify defects using the defect criteria table and determine acceptance or rejection according to the sampling plan. most products have a specific flavor profile may be influenced by region, culture. The standards for lard, shortening and tallow are listed in Schedule I of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. Sausages in artificial edible casings (e.g. These must include the following elements: The operator must have a control program in place to prevent the transmission of pathogens from when using the inoculum from a previous batch (back slopping) to initiate the fermentation process of a new batch. 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. Cooling must be continuous and begins immediately after the heating cycle is completed. The texture and eating quality of the products are therefore superior to the raw materials used and are hence more desirable to consumers. In addition, the product has not had its core temperature maintained at 65C for at least 10 minutes or an equivalent combination of time and higher . The approvals for use of preservatives in meat products are contained in Standard 1.3.1 - Food Additives of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Refer to section 4.5 for these requirements. }@ 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. 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 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. 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. 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. R % uPm_5 iN+YPR,e lI Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. A cooling schedule must be developed and filed for every type of heat processed product. The definition of lot for the purposes of sampling must be statistically sound and must correspond to product manufactured under the same conditions. ii Comminuted - chunk size c2 to 3 cm3 e.g., reformed hams, ground meat patties. Packaging materials must not impart any undesirable substance to the meat product, either chemically, physically or microbiologically and must protect them sufficiently to avoid contamination (See MIR, 92, FDR B.23.001). When steam is generated, it must be properly vented out of the area and not allowed to permeate into adjoining rooms. Operators are responsible for establishing appropriate best before dates which take into account the length of time elapsed before the product was originally frozen. Equipment used in the dehydration process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. 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. meat products. For current information visit Food. The manufacturing process used must be evaluated in a scientific manner consistent with the challenge study recommendations (refer to Option 5) of this section. 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. a shipment or part of a shipment of boneless manufacturing meat derived from a single species going to a single destination; or. 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. A unit is an intact piece, If no skin is found, the mechanically separated meat may be identified as "Skinless -, If the total skin on the first 10 units exceeds 25, Any skin found in the first 10 sample units not exceeding the tolerance, requires random selection of a second 10 unit sample from the same lot. 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.
