Microbiology of the food chain - Carcass sampling for microbiological analysis

ISO 17604:2015 specifies sampling methods for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms on the surface of carcasses or parts of carcasses of slaughtered meat animals. The microbiological sampling can be carried out as part of- process hygiene control (to validate and or verify process control, e.g. total counts and Enterobacteriaceae) in slaughter establishments for large mammals, poultry, and game,- risk-based assurance systems for product safety, and- monitoring or surveillance programmes for the prevalence and/or numbers of pathogenic microorganisms.This International Standard includes the use of excision and swabbing techniques depending on the reason for sample collection. It also includes the use of carcass rinsing for the examination of carcasses of poultry and some small animals. Annex A shows sampling sites on the carcasses of various animal species.

Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - Carcass sampling for microbiological analysis

ISO 17604:2003 specifies sampling methods for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms on the carcass surface of freshly slaughtered (red) meat animals. The microbiological sampling can be carried out as part of the process control (and to verify process control) in slaughter establishments for cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats and game raised in captivity, risk-based assurance systems for product safety, and surveillance programmes for the prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms. ISO 17604:2003 includes the use of destructive and non-destructive techniques depending on the reason for the sample collection. It does not consider the use of sampling plans.
