Computer modeling may be used to evaluate the safety of the product. finely textured chicken or mechanically separated beef). 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. STEP 3: FULLY COOKED (page 2 of 3) YES = FULLY COOKED MEAT + NONMEAT MULTICOMPONENT PRODUCT NO 3E. Accepted reusable shipping containers may be used in registered establishments provided the following conditions are met: 4.2.1 Requirements for Cooling, Freezing and Room Temperatures, 4.3.3 Mechanically Separated Meat (MSM) and Finely Textured Meat (FTM), 4.4.1 Control Program Requirements for Operators Manufacturing Cooked Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Meat Products, 4.4.2 Requirements for Heat Treated Non Ready-to-Eat (NRTE) Meat Products, 4.5 Cooling of Heat Processed Meat Products, 4.5.1 Cooling of Heat Processed Meat Products, 4.5.2 Deviation From the Approved Cooling Process, 4.5.4 Product Storage Temperatures of Heat Processed Meat Products, 4.12.1 Control Over the Use of Restricted Non Meat Food Products, 4.12.2 Use of Eggs in Registered Establishments, 4.16.1 Control Program Requirements for Fermented Meat Products, 4.16.3 Requirements for Shelf Stable Fermented Meat Products, 4.17 Post Processing Lethality Procedures, 4.17.1 Post Process Pasteurization of Ready-to-Eat Meat Products, 4.17.2 High Pressure Processing for Ready-to-Eat Meat Products, Annex C: Use of Phosphates and Nitrites in Prepared Meat Products, Annex D: Cooking Time x Temperature Tables, Annex F: Lot Sampling and Inspection/Examination Procedures for Fresh Meat, Annex H: Policy on the Control of Listeria monocytogenes in Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Meat and Poultry Products, Annex K: Tracking Sheet for Options Used for Control of, 2012-01-23 - Approval of alternative procedures for processing of meat and poultry products, 2012-01-23 - Swabbing of Food Contact Surface (FCS) when production line is not operational, 2012-01-23 - Use of carbon monoxide (CO) in packaging of meat products, Food Safety Enhancement Program (FSEP) Manual, 4.16.2.1.1, Fermentation Done at a Constant Temperature (Constant Temperature Process), 4.16.2.1.2, Fermentation Done at Different Temperatures (Variable Temperature Processes), Compendium of Analytical Methods, Volume 3, Laboratory Procedures for the Microbiological Analysis of Foods, additional information on the submission process, Reference Listing of Accepted Construction Materials, Packaging Materials and Non-Food Chemical Products, No more than 0.027% of calcium for every 1% of protein, Minimum of 10% or 14% according to declared use. 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.). Smokehouses must be adequately vented. In order to be released, all tests must be negative for the presence of. Under this sampling plan the operator must test each lot for calcium, protein and bone particle until 10 consecutive lots are in compliance. 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 standardized meat product is one that has a standard prescribed by regulation. We shall be principally concerned with cooked sausage which is intended to be bound together with some degree of strength in its manufacture. 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. 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. The operator is required to maintain a listing of all of the packaging material used in the establishment. 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. Microbial testing alone is not sufficient for this purpose. 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. 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. Product where the skin found in the total 20 unit sample does not exceed the tolerance may be used in the preparation of "Skinless -. Refrigerated MSM (cured or non-cured) should be maintained at temperatures close to 0C and should be closely monitored from production to utilization. This includes the use of cans, glass jars, retortable pouches or other containers. The presence of kidney is defined as the presence of a part of a lobule or several lobules measuring at least 0.5cm x 0.5cm. Sausage can be manufactured on a small scale by homogenizing meat with ice (for temperature control) using a bowl-chopper. 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. Likewise, if the scheduled lot run is 6 hours (360 minutes) sampling must be done every 18 minutes (360/20 = 18 minutes). Whenever there is a cooling deviation, if the operator intends to distribute the product, they must conduct a risk assessment on the product. High pressure processing is an approved post-lethality, post-packaging intervention step for RTE meats for the control of Listeriaspp. 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. 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. 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. The following clauses are added under sub-regulation 2.5.2, related to "Comminuted or Restructured Meat Products ', namely: Meat Sausages 2A. immediately placed in a freezer and frozen within 48 hours of boning. Examine the product, classify defects using the defect criteria table and determine acceptance or rejection according to the sampling plan. 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). Most comminuted products are classed as . Work should be conducted in a Biosafety level, Methods of production, enumeration and standardization of inoculum: Individual cultures of each strain should be prepared by inoculating an appropriate growth media, such as Tryptic Soy or Trypticase Soy broth, supplemented with 1% glucose and incubating for 18 to 24 hours at 37, Size of inoculum to be used: the final concentration of. The problem specifically concerns the uncontrolled fermentation of non heat treated (or uncooked) comminuted meat products. The use of an alternative process or new technology must be approved by the CFIA prior to use. Where applicable, packages treated with high pressure processing require refrigeration. The manufacturing process must allow an extra 1 minute of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. It should be noted that the presence of some curing aids may be found in significant amounts in the final product if their presence in the rework was not taken into consideration. Any alternate cooling process must be submitted by the operator to the Inspector in Charge, who will consult with the Area Program Specialist. Examples of these products include; Chorizo, Sucuk, Csabai, Loukanika, Lebanese dry sausage, and Lap Cheong. When steam is generated, it must be properly vented out of the area and not allowed to permeate into adjoining rooms. 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. 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. The equipment operates on the differing resistance of bone and soft tissue to pass through small openings, such as sieves or screens. When the smoking of pork products is used with heat to destroy Trichinella, the temperatures maintained must be carefully monitored. Processed meats are first categorised as being 'in whole cuts or pieces' or as 'comminuted'. What are comminuted products? Include as part of the manufacture of the sausage, one of the following heat processes which are recognized as controlling E.coliO157:H7. h2214R0P0214V05& Packaging materials used for this purpose must be specifically designed to withstand the pasteurization process. The minimum sampling size and schedule per boning line should be 15kg for each 30minutes of production (random time sampling twice hourly). salted, pickled, dried, cured, smoked or treated by other similar means, but does not include refrigerated or frozen. Establishments should separate the handling of cooked, partially cooked and raw products to prevent recontamination. 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. Requirements for processed meat products are governed by the both the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). Reducing fat and salt in. Collect the identified product so that the sample equals approximately 900 grams 10% For product collected in its final packaging, place the packaged sample in a non sterile bag For production specifications please consult Chapter 15 of the MOP. Every effort must be made to prevent the meat products from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of any shipping containers during filling. The proposal must be supported by scientific data to validate the submission. In determining whether a requirement is necessary, appropriate, adequate, or sufficient to achieve the objectives of the Regulations, account should be taken of the nature of the operation/activity and of its intended use. hAO05R8lH
JdYmRMtP cXzlDg!C=Z`H^@b)Py{)``]S3:]RJ Stuffing product into casings: Inoculated product should be stuffed into casing as usual to approximate normal production procedures. If the number of defects found is equal to or greater than 4, the lot must be rejected. Combo bins cannot not be stored, assembled and/or filled directly on the floor. 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. The injection of ground or emulsified trimmings into solid muscle cuts must meet the following requirements: This is achieved by the use of smoke generated from hardwood, hardwood sawdust, or vaporized liquid smoke derived from the aforementioned sources. 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. 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. Room or area temperatures must also ensure control of product temperature during processing activities, such that there is no increase in bacterial growth of the product that would affect the validation of any further lethality step or validation of product shelf life. 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. For the purposes of sampling, "NRTE comminuted poultry product" is any raw non-breaded, non- battered raw poultry product that has been (1) ground, (2) mechanically separated, or (3) hand- or mechanically-deboned and further chopped, flaked, minced, or otherwise processed to composition, for certain meat and poultry products. the surface crusting must disappear within 2.5 hours (150 minutes) of completing the crust freezing process; the process must be monitored, by a designated plant employee, a minimum of every two (2) hours for crust disappearance and internal product temperature; the product must be labelled as either "previously frozen" or "frozen" whenever crust disappearance takes more than 150 minutes; and. Degrees above 15.6C: 35C - 15.6C = 19.4C Hours to reach pH of 5.3: 40 Degree-hours calculation: (19.4C) x (40) = 776 degree-hours. Additional explanation on nitrate/nitrite and phosphate calculations for formulated products is provided in Annex C of this chapter. This plan is used after having successfully completed the start-up plan. 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. The operator's control program must include the conditions of storage of the emulsified suspension. Freezing reduces the temperature of a meat product below the freezing point, changing the state of water from liquid to solid form (ice). More particularly, the present disclosure relates to high protein puffed snack products including soy protein materials and protein from meat, meat by-products, or dehydrated meat . Fermentation and smoking chambers must be equipped with a recording thermometer for determining degree-hours calculations in a reliable manner. 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. The cure or brine can be added to the tumbler mixer and be incorporated into the product by the physical action of tumbling. It includes minced meat (pork, poultry, or other food animals) marketed as fresh, cooked, fermented, or smoked. The artificial edible casing does not have to be declared on the label of the product. It takes 40 hours for the pH to reach 5.3. endstream

<. Product will be held under the control of the operator until the written results of analysis have been received. hLj0_o8IJP 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. Alternative temperature control measures must provide the same or better outcome. 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). A manufacturing process specified in writing by the operator and used to cook a particular meat product. Degree-hours are calculated for each temperature used in the process. 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. The following processes have been scientifically validated as achieving a 5D or greater reduction of E.coliO157:H7. For routine monitoring, accurate measurement electronic, The storage temperature must be maintained at 4. This protocol is based on ISO Table #2859-1 at an inspection level of S-4, for a lot or batch size ranging from 1,201 to 10,000 units. 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. 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. . R

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". Depending upon the final use of the communited meat the degree of comminution is done which differs among various processed products and is often a unique characteristic of a particular product ranging from very coarsely comminuted (to produce non-emulsified sausages like salamis and summer sausages), to finely comminuted, (to produce . In all cases, the products must be cooked prior to consumption. the spinal cord must be removed from ruminant, equine and porcine carcasses and portions prior to their use as material for mechanical separation. 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. 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). Comminuted meat is ground meat. 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. Sausages in artificial edible casings (e.g. (b) the procedures to ensure compliance with the performance requirements set out in the Manual of Procedures. Select a 10 unit sample at random and examine for the presence of skin. Measuring and/or recording equipment suitable to accurately and consistently measure and/or record the data used to verify that the control limits identified in the manufacturing process are being met. collagen) are allowed as rework material in the preparation of sausages wrapped in artificial edible casings or natural casings, to a limit of 3% in weight of the new meat product. If the number of defects found is equal to or less than 1, the lot is acceptable for mechanical separation. Equipment used in the dehydration process must be included in the operator's prerequisite control programs. For the purpose of this monitoring plan a sample of at least 500g shall be taken randomly from the production lot. This is the preservation of meat products by the addition of ingredients and additives that reduce the water activity (aw). Whenever combo bins are used for the storage of meat products in freezers or for the shipment of refrigerated or frozen meat products from a registered establishment, the meat products must be protected by adequate lids or covers to prevent contamination. 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. 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. Number of replicates: a minimum of three replicates of the study should be performed. 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. Some examples include pizza (bread-type crust, vegetables, meat and cheese), lasagna (pasta, vegetables and cheese). It refers to the extraction of matrix proteins in muscle fibers and the use of additives by means of mechanical and additive materials (salt, edible complex phosphate, animal and vegetable protein, starch, carrageenan . The manufacturing process must allow an extra 1 second of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. Restructured meat processing technology and development trend. no fresh or frozen liquid egg is to leave the premises unless it is marked "Inedible egg - unfit for human consumption", as it does not meet federal or provincial requirements. The rate of freezing is important to prevent growth of microorganisms or production of their toxins prior to the product reaching freezing temperatures. The temperature in a room or area of a registered establishment where a meat product is processed, packaged, labelled or handled shall be appropriate to ensure the preservation of a meat product. The aw may be reduced by adding solutes (salt, sugar) or removing moisture. Example include to debone, comminute, preserve, dehydrate, ferment, render or assemble with an ingredient other than a meat product, but does not include to dress, trim, refrigerate, freeze or defrost. To achieve this, the percentage of frozen meat used for the minced pork . The operator must have deviation procedures for product which does not meet the standards outlined in 4.3.3. Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. Those records showing adherence to the schedule (product time/temperature) should be maintained on file for a period of at least 12 months beyond the shelf life (best before) of the product and made available to the inspector on request. The instructions for use, maintenance and calibration of measurement devices and instruments must be included in the operator's prerequisite programs and HACCP system. Comminuted. 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. This station must be equipped with a directly drained and remote controlled or timed hand wash facility, an 82C water sanitizer and adequate lighting. 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. 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. If a dehydrated product that is not cooked is sold as shelf-stable (i.e., there is no "keep refrigerated" statement), it has to meet the same applicable controls as shelf-stable fermented meat products (see section 4.16.3). Operators are responsible for determining whether their meat product is ready-to-eat (RTE) according to this section. hbbd``b`OAD`$4^WR ne"j@zopGL@?0 mpS
This means that the food must contain only the ingredients included in the standard, within the limits established by the standard. spores to dangerous levels during the interval following cooking. Once a pH of 5.3 is reached, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production are stopped. The presence of lung is defined as a part of lung measuring at least 1cm x 1cm. Most common food-poisoning bacteria can grow from 0C up to 54C; however, their range of rapid growth is from 27C to 54C. 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. A lot cannot exceed a single day's production. 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. 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. 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. For products stored under refrigerated conditions, the operator must have in place Control Programs to monitor the temperature of these products, such that the internal temperature of each product is 4C or less but not frozen. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. What are comminuted meat products prepared with meat or meat by-products and seasoned with spices (salt, pepper, etc) in small amounts, which may be cooked or uncooked and smoked or unsmoked? procedures implemented by operators in the post-lethality processing environment to control or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. When using skinless MSM in the formulation of a meat product, up to 8% of skin from the named species is permitted under the MIR Schedule I. 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. Condition 1 and one of the two options in condition 2 must be met: The internal temperature does not remain between 49C and 4C for more than 20 hours; During cooling, the product's maximum internal temperature must not remain between 54C and 27C for more than two (2) hours nor from 54C to 4C for more than 7 hours. Above a critical temperature of 15.6C, Staphylococcus aureus multiplication and toxin production can take place. 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. Fermentation room temperature is a constant 35C. 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. 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%.
