Products that are cold smoked and have the appearance of being ready-to-eat must be labelled as per section 94(6.1) of the MIR. When steam is generated, it must be properly vented out of the area and not allowed to permeate into adjoining rooms. Results must be reported in writing, identified as to the lot of product being tested and must include individual results for each test performed, method used and minimum sensitivity of the test used. temperature of shell eggs and processed egg must be maintained at 4. Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. These ingredients also reduce the cost of meat products. 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. Meat products packed in salt or saturated salt solution are considered shelf stable. For example, in comminuted meats, the ability of a muscle 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. The operator must prevent leakage. 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. Likewise, if the scheduled lot run is 6 hours (360 minutes) sampling must be done every 18 minutes (360/20 = 18 minutes). The operator must implement a program for the control of aging and tenderizing processes. )A=u!C(K CS The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. Non-meat ingredients: Large numbers of non-meat ingredients are required for providing taste and improving quality. 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. An evaluation technique of the operator in which samples are taken from the assembled lot of product. Above a critical temperature of 15.6C, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production can take place. Comminuted meat can also be called mechanically de -boned meat ( MDM ). Assure that all boneless meat produced under the program is capable of passing the lot inspection/examination program previously described using the designated sampling plans and defect criteria. The operator is required to ensure that any packaging material that is used in the sale of food products will not impart any undesirable substance to the meat product, either chemically, physically or microbiologically and must protect them sufficiently to avoid contamination. This standard categorises food according to a system devised in the European Union. 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. immediately placed in a freezer and frozen within 48 hours of boning. For example, for "other comminuted", collect fresh raw sausage and fresh raw patties. Recording thermometers must be present and properly functioning. 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. The protocol will then be evaluated by the National Specialist, Meat Processing in collaboration with the food safety group. %PDF-1.6 % The sampling plan must be representative of the lot. High pressure processing is an approved post-lethality, post-packaging intervention step for RTE meats for the control of Listeriaspp. The operator's approved alternative plan is then monitored by the CFIA. Trimmings from Non-Intact : Raw ground, comminuted, or ; Chicken Ground Product : otherwise non-intact chicken . finely textured chicken or mechanically separated beef). Where this is not possible, the operator should utilize fermentation room temperatures. 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. 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. Temperature in the fermentation, drying and smoking chambers must be uniform and controlled to prevent any fluctuation that could impact on the safety of the final product. 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. This is accomplished by drying-in air, the application of heat or by freeze-drying. A standardized meat product is one that has a standard prescribed by regulation. Non-comminuted. "DQfPC,6$+jl("@jQcQ8jlF [Qc3j@ @ &jL\t4@5#@qpq!bD: All food additives used in meat product formulations must be listed in the Tables of Division 16 of the Food and Drug Regulations and used according to the provisions in those tables.

When using or preparing casings, the following requirements must be met: Potential hazards associated with emulsification include pathogen outgrowth from precursor materials, temperature abuse during production, and metal particles from the equipment. Processed meats are first categorised as being 'in whole cuts or pieces' or as 'comminuted'. 982 0 obj <> endobj 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. Important to sausages, reformed hams and other comminuted meat products 11. 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. 1 minute when the minimum internal (dwell) time is at least 10 minutes. The definition of lot for the purposes of sampling must be statistically sound and must correspond to product manufactured under the same conditions. 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. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. Fermentation room temperature is 24C for the first 10 hours, 30C for the second 10 hours and 37C for the final 18 hours. Non-comminuted & Indigenous meat products and there processing is discussed briefly These generic requirements for slow cooling are applicable for a meat product that is formulated: Brine concentration in the finished product = [% salt / (% salt + % moisture in end product)] x 100. The frequency of sampling is to be adjusted according to compliance to specifications. Select a 10 unit sample at random and examine for the presence of skin. The alternate cooling process cannot be used prior to acceptance by the National Specialist, Meat Processing. . In all cases, the products must be cooked prior to consumption. The following clauses are added under sub-regulation 2.5.2, related to "Comminuted or Restructured Meat Products ', namely: Meat Sausages 2A. The set of measures applied to protect a cooked meat product against the possible outgrowth of heat shocked Clostridiumspp. 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%. In FTM, hand or mechanically deboned trimmings that contain bone particles or cartilage may be used. Operators are responsible for establishing appropriate best before dates which take into account the length of time elapsed before the product was originally frozen. h]k0.J%'P The number of defects in the first and second sample must be totalled. 0 The proposal must be supported by scientific data to validate the submission. The operator must control the risk of cross contamination from non cleaned containers. qF 1`rA!w) ] 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. 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. 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. For production specifications please consult Chapter 15 of the MOP. 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. The placing of frozen meat into cooking kettles without prior thawing is permitted only when a representative sample of the entire lot has been thawed and found to be sound and unadulterated. 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. product is further processed, assembled, or packaged so that cooked meat or poultry products contacts non-ready to-eat product ingredients. 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. (b) the procedures to ensure compliance with the performance requirements set out in the Manual of Procedures. They are produced from comminuted or finely homogenized meat, mechanically recovered meat, poultry or fish. 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. When the smoking of pork products is used with heat to destroy Trichinella, the temperatures maintained must be carefully monitored. 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; Development of healthier meat products is needed to meet consumers' request. 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. The manufacturing process must allow an extra 1 minute of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. The pressure is released and the treated containers are packed and ready for shipping. Shipping containers with a lid qualifying for direct food contact must be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the ones above. The minimum sampling size and schedule per boning line should be 15kg for each 30minutes of production (random time sampling twice hourly). 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). This plan is used when the equipment is first installed, when major components are replaced (e.g. See Annex O for policy specifications on the detection of E.coliO157:H7 in raw beef. worm], etc.) The total skin area of all sample units (up to 20) cannot exceed 25cm2 (i.e. 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. 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. hbbd``b`OAD`$4^WR ne"j@zopGL@?0 mpS The formation of ice concentrates the dissolved solutes and reduces the water activity of the meat product. Pickling, the addition of an acidulant such as acetic acid or citric acid, lowers the pH value of the meat product. The operator is encouraged to measure temperatures at the surface of the 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. The degree-hours limit for the entire fermentation process is based on the highest temperature reached during fermentation. 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.
