The degree-hours limit for the entire fermentation process is based on the highest temperature reached during fermentation. This process accelerates the cure process and enhances the appearance of the finished product. Manufacturing processes used to make fermented sausages are considered partially effective against E.coliO157:H7 if it is shown that they achieve 2D to 5D reduction of E.coliO157:H7. As the MSM is labelled as "skinless", the amount of skin that may be added is calculated for both the pork trim and the MSM which gives us an "x" value of 6.4kg: 4.4kg for the pork trim and 2kg for the MSM (8% of 80kg). Important to sausages, reformed hams and other comminuted meat products 11. Canned food means commercially sterile low-acid or acidified low-acid food packed in hermetically sealed containers. The incorporation of ground meat or poultry pieces with intact muscle cuts is accomplished by mixing, tumbling or massaging the ground meat with the larger pieces. The following clauses are added under sub-regulation 2.5.2, related to "Comminuted or Restructured Meat Products ', namely: Meat Sausages 2A. 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). Three separate formulation batches can, however, be processed concurrently following stuffing. 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. Sausage can be manufactured on a small scale by homogenizing meat with ice (for temperature control) using a bowl-chopper. When the fermentation takes place at various temperatures, each temperature step in the process is analyzed for the number of degree-hours it contributes. An establishment must use option 3 if option 1, 2, 4 or 5 are not used. Characterization of heat resistance of spores recovered from raw products would further facilitate the assessment of the cooling process parameters. For production specifications please consult Chapter 15 of the MOP. Provided that effective controls for tracing product are in place and all corresponding dry fermented sausage manufacturing processes have been validated as achieving at least a 2. Mechanically Separated Pork or Poultry Meat will be deemed to contain skin unless the manufacturer indicates otherwise on the product's label. 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. 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. End product sampling for Clostridium perfringens (viable cells) can be done as an additional safety measure but is not sufficient on its own. Fermentation and smoking chambers must be equipped with a recording thermometer for determining degree-hours calculations in a reliable manner. 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 . The accuracy of these must be checked periodically against a mercury thermometer. It the operator's responsibility to ensure that the procedures for environmental risk factors for contamination of product are effective and verifiable. 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. This validation should not be conducted within an actual food manufacturing facility. finely textured chicken or mechanically separated beef). The examination program must be capable of achieving the following results: Prior to approval by the Inspector in Charge, the effectiveness of the program must be evaluated using lot examination to assure that on-line examination achieves equivalent or better results than lot examination. Computer modeling may be used to evaluate the safety of the product. 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. The operator may justify his choice under the procedures based on the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles or under the operational procedures of a registered establishment. 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. These ingredients also reduce the cost of meat products. If wood chips or sawdust are used for smoke generation, their storage and use must not pose a sanitary hazard. To ensure that all of the requirements corresponding to the selected option are met, and to suitably demonstrate this, operators of registered establishments who manufacture a dry/semi-dry fermented sausage are required to complete a copy of Annex K "Option used for the control of E.coliO157:H7 in dry and semi-dry fermented sausage" for each different product and attach all the required information. Please refer to Chapter 3.6, Pre-requisite Programs for the requirements for acceptable packaging materials and non-food chemical products. The washing and rinsing must ensure that the containers are visibly clean. The degree hour calculations are based on fermentation room temperatures. Sausages in natural casings are only allowed as rework material in the preparation of equivalent meat products (i.e. piece of meat whose internal structure has not been modified. Environmental and product samples in ready-to-eat products are required. 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. The operator must have a program in place to assess the incoming product. 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. Refer to the FSEP Manual and Chapter 3, Prerequisite Programs for more details. The pressure is released and the treated containers are packed and ready for shipping. measures acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 as the neutral point. Edible rendering is the heat treatment of edible animal tissues to extract fats and oils. The process may be designed to achieve surface heating only; however, the product must be immediately cooled to 4C within the requirements of section 4.5 of this chapter. Fermentation room temperature is a constant 35C. hM6E+ 23(toft%Q&/|5)^0~#3w{hH|h0F#G#G?5x=)c/. 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. 982 0 obj <> endobj The alternate cooling process cannot be used prior to acceptance by the National Specialist, Meat Processing. 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. For each lot, the operator must take 15 samples of raw batter and submit them for analysis. conditions or circumstances that might contaminate a food with dirt or filth, or render injurious to health, as defined by the Food and Drugs Act. must be equipped to accommodate the particular process or processes conducted therein. YES = FULLY COOKED The rejected product must be reworked and resubmitted for sampling, returned to the originator, or treated as inedible product. The operator's approved alternative plan is then monitored by the CFIA. 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. The manufacturing process used must be evaluated in a scientific manner consistent with the challenge study recommendations (refer to Option 5, sub-section 4.16.2.2.5). 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. Operators are responsible for determining whether their meat product is ready-to-eat (RTE) according to this section. 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. 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. ensuring that the minimum amount of thermal lethality must be received in a single dose, it is not acceptable to use a dose cumulative approach, causes a continuous drop in product's temperature; or, controls the product's surface temperature so that it does not stay between 49, protected from post cooking contamination (. hAO05R8lH JdYmRMtP cXzlDg!C=Z`H^@b)Py{)``]S3:]RJ Smoked sausages should be smoked with only hardwood or non-resinous material. The operator must ensure, through the establishment's mandatory Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plan (Control Programs) that these regulatory requirements are met. The formulation of all prepared meat products, including potential allergens, must be controlled as part of the operator's HACCP system. Article B.01.006 of the Food and Drug Regulations requires that the common name of the food be shown on the principal display panel, therefore if re-packaged, heated NRTE meat products will have to display the appropriate NRTE qualifiers. The manufacturing process must allow an extra 1 minute of dwell time to compensate for measurement error. %PDF-1.6 % Requirements for processed meat products are governed by the both the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (MIR) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). Under this option, it is not required to test for E.coliO157:H7. Contact the CFIA Area Program Specialist for information for approved antimicrobial agents for meat products. These procedures help tenderize the meat and are used in quality control and finish of the product, rather than food safety. 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. endstream endobj 983 0 obj <. 1. immediately placed in a freezer and frozen within 48 hours of boning. Shipping containers with a lid qualifying for direct food contact must be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the ones above. 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. 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 Number of replicates: a minimum of three replicates of the study should be performed. For current information visit Food. A manufacturing process specified in writing by the operator and used to cook a particular meat product. A shorter length may be used as long as the length is approximately twice the diameter of the stuffed casing. Under this option, it is not required to test each lot for E.coliO157:H7 or Salmonella. Certain strains of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus are capable of producing a highly heat stable toxin that causes illness in humans. 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). Operators of registered establishments who wish to market a meat product without a refrigeration declaration which does not meet the "shelf stable" criteria set out above, must submit a request for the acceptance of their proposal to the Inspector in Charge. If kept hot, cooked meat products should always be kept at 60C or above. means gelatin, agar or carrageenan, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. a hazard analysis critical control points plan that is prepared in accordance with the FSEP Manual for a process or product and that specifies, in respect of the process or product, all the hazards, critical control points, critical limits, monitoring procedures, deviation procedures, verification procedures and records, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. the edible meat product that is derived from the hind leg of a dressed swine carcass above the tarsal joint, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. means a biological, chemical or physical agent or factor that has the potential to cause a food to be unsafe for human consumption in the absence of its control, as per the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990. an individual unit of food that is combined with one or more other individual units of food so that the individual unit are no longer distinguishable as separate units.
