Module 2 Flashcards
must be used for working tables, meat hooks (at least their parts contact in meat), blades of knives, saws, cleavers and axes.
stainless steel
are useful materials in the meat industries as they are non-corrosive. Those materials should however not be in direct contact with meat, as they are not sufficiently smooth or may release unwanted substances.
Galvanized steel or food-grade aluminium
are used for many types of meat containers and for handles of knives and other hand tools, for cutting boards and some internal parts of meat processing equipment such as washers, parts of valves etc.
Food grade synthetic materials
refers to the edible part of the carcass including offal derived from food animal.
meat
refers to all conditions and measures necessary to ensure the safety and suitability of meat at all stages of the food chain.
meat hygiene
is the assurance that meat will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten by the consumer.
meat safety
To prevent access of unauthorized persons, the public, dogs and other animals fencing must be erected around the slaughterhouse area.
Perimeter Fencing
Pests (insect, rodents and birds) should be controlled to prevent their access to slaughterhouses, production areas and storage departments.
pest control
The most effective way to control rats is to separate them from food supplies forcing the rats to migrate in search of food thus depressing the reproduction rate. This can only be done through careful management of hygiene standards in food production.
rodent control
to prebait which overcomes most problems of shyness and avoidance when baiting
chemical control
The rodenticides used as baits can be divided into two main types:
*multiple dose of chronic chemicals
*single-dose (acute) rodenticides
The best known method of physical control is traps. Trapping is of special importance in an environment where food is produced, handled or stored because poisonous baits cannot be used for safety reasons.
physical control
The best control is to prevent the birds from having access to buildings
bird control
The programme can be divided into the following subroutines in which cleaning and sanitation monitoring record in every areas should be provided:
- Clearance for cleaning
- Assembling for cleaning
- Removal of solid waste
- Pre-rinsing with water
- Application of detergent
- Rinsing
- Disinfection
- Post rinsing
- Post treatment
- Disassembling after cleaning
This could be a subroutine of the cleaning programme or a subroutine in processing and it will be necessary to establish which one it is.
Clearance for cleaning
consists of preparing solutions of detergents and disinfectants and maintenance and/or preparation of cleaning materials and equipment
Assembling for cleaning
Where there are large amounts of solid waste, it should be removed before water is used in the area.
removal of solid waste
The purpose of prerinsing is:
- to prevent drying of the soil on the surfaces and to moisten the soil and the surfaces
- to loosen and collect a small amount of solid waste.
can be carried out with water supplied from a water hose (water tap) or from a low pressure cleaner.
Prerinsing with water
The purpose of applying detergent is
to decompose and loosen the soil from surfaces and prevent the soil already loosened redepositing.
The choice of detergent depends on:
- type of soil
- hardness of water
- type of surfaces
- system for application of detergent
- remaining cleaning programme
Decomposed and suspended soil and detergent residues should be removed by rinsing with water.
rinsing
The optimal water temperature for rinsing will depend on:
- which detergent has been used
- which types of soil have to be removed
- which surfaces have to be cleaned
- which amounts of water are available
- which cleaning system is used
