foodstuffs 4: Regulation of microbiology: food safety
EU regulation 2073/2005/EC

Food safety criteria: limits that determine the acceptability of foods for human consumption → noncompliance:
food safety defect → distribution shall be prohibited, product shall be recalled from the market

  • Process hygiene criteria: indicate proper operation without any direct effect on the acceptability of foods →
    improvement of technology, however this shall not affect the distribution of the given food

Indications for Complementary bacteriological meat inspection
o Any suspicion suggestive of bacterial dissemination, except when septicaemia can clearly be
established on the basis of the gross pathological lesions
o The presence of purulent lesions or inflammatory or necrotic foci in the parenchymal organs
o Cases of icterus or dystocia (obstructed labour)
o Suspicion of poisoning
o Official veterinarian’s professional judgement and decision
