animal byproducts and specified risk material Flashcards
What are animal by products
An ABP is the entire body, part of an animal or a product of animal origin which is not intended for human consumption
Once material becomes ABP it cannot revert to being foodstuff
What are the reasons for ABP control?
ABP are controlled to ensure:
- hygienic production of meat
- not in food chain
- human and animal health
- they are safely and suitably handled and disposed
what % of animal is usually ABP
(chicken, pig, bovine, sheep/goat)
68% of a chicken
62% of a pig
54% of a bovine
52% of a sheep/goat.
What are edible co-products
Edible Co-products are intended for human
consumption prior further processing:
- Fats
- Stomachs, bladders and intestines
- Gelatine and collagen
Not treated/processed edible co-products mean they will become ABP
Animal By-products are not intended for human consumption
What are the regulations/legislation for the handling and disposal of ABP
(EC) 1069/2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption
Regulation (EC) 852/2004 (hygiene of foodstuffs)
Regulation (EC) 853/2004 (hygiene of food of animal origin)
Regulation 2017/625 and 2019/627: (OV/ Competent authority controls)
Who is responsible for control of ABP
FBO: due diligence
APHA: licence and audit of ABP plants
Local Authority (LA): Transport of ABP
OV: supervision and enforcement at the abattoir
Describe cat 1 waste
For disposal only
Pose highest risk to human/animal health & include specified risk material (SRM):
- all SRM
- entire bodies or parts of dead animal & carcasses containing SRM
- all body parts of animals suspected/confirmed as being infected by TSE
- animal material (sludge) collected from waste water drain screenings in ruminant slaughterhouses
- animals killed in context of TSE eradication measures
- wild animals when suspected of being infected with diseases communicable to humans or other animals (e.g. bTB or FMD)
- products derived from animals treated with substances prohibited under EC legislation or containing residues of environmental contaminants
- international catering waste, dead pets, lab animal carcasses & dead zoo animals
- mixture of cat 1 material with cat 2/3 material
describe cat 2 waste
Unfit for human or animal consumption
sludge collected from (6mm) waste water drain screenings in non ruminant (pig and poultry) slaughterhouse
products containing residues of authorised veterinary drugs and contaminants exceeding the permitted levels
material imported from third countries or member states which does not comply with the veterinary requirements of the EU
Carcases (not containing SRM) from animals not presented for am insp. or without FCI
animals and parts of animals that die other than by being slaughtered for human consumption, including those killed for disease control purposes (unless these fall into Category 1)
products of animal origin that have been declared unfit for human consumption due to the presence of foreign bodies in those products
manure and digestive tract contents
blood from any animal which has not passed ante mortem inspection
mixtures of Category 2 material with Category 3 material
ABP not included in definitions for Category 1 or 3: - Most of the post-mortem rejections due to pathology
describe cat 3 waste
Fit but not intended for Human consumption
The following parts if the animals passed the ante-mortem inspection:
- Poultry heads and feathers
- Pig bristles
- Feet
- Hides and skin
- Horns
- Blood of pigs and poultry if passed am insp.
- Blood of ruminants if passed pm insp.
. PM rejections not posing a risk to animal health ( for example over scalded carcases, liver with lesions
What can cat 3 ABP be used for
Production of raw pet food only
Raw pet food contains certain cat 3 material which has not undergone any preserving process other than chilling/freezing
From:
- fir but not intended for human consumption
- Rejected at PM but not posing risk to animal/human health
- poultry heads that passed AM
Stored & transported at <7C
Labelled as pet food only during transport
Packaged to prevent leakage
Prevented from contamination throughout production until point of sale
Sampled for Salmonella spp & Enterobacteria
Describe disposal routes for cat 1, 2 & 3
Category 1 (highest risk, includes SRM):
- approved incinerators, pressure sterilization followed by permanent marking and landfill, fuel combustion at approved combustion plant.
- Burial at authorized landfill (international waste only)
Category 2 ( high risk):
- as above plus
- After processing use as fertilizers and soil improvers or for fuel combustion or for cosmetics, medical devices and safe industrial technical uses
- manure to land, gut room waste to non-pasture land (no processing needed)
Category 3( low risk):
- as above plus
- pet food plants, technical plants (pharmaceutical), biogas plants and tanneries.
Describe pressure sterilisation for cat 1 & 2 waste
Describe pressure sterilisation for cat 3 waste
What are the exemptions for cat 1, 2 & 3 waste
What are the ABP requirements at the abattoir
- Identification: labelled
- Category 1: For disposal only,
- Category 2 Nor for Animal consumption,
- Category 3 Not for Human consumption - Storage: to avoid contamination(in different rooms if frozen), chilled if required
- Staining (using a dye):
- Cat. 1
* Containing SRM: blue
* Non containing SRM: any colour
- Cat. 2: any colour - Collection and transport
