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

Le présent document fait partie d'un ensemble de normes définissant tant des méthodes de référence que des méthodes de routine, applicables pour effectuer les examens et vérifier les critères microbiologiques des aliments pour l'alimentation humaine ou animale, utilisables tout autant par les producteurs pour la mise en application d'une politique de qualité, que par les organismes de contrôle pour la protection du consommateur. Cet ensemble de normes comprend des méthodes horizontales et des méthodes spécifiques et complémentaires pour le contrôle microbiologique des produits. Le présent document spécifie des méthodes de prélèvement en vue de la recherche et du dénombrement des micro-organismes à la surface de carcasses d'animaux de boucherie venant d'être abattus.
