Mechanical meat/bone separation equipment operates by using mechanical pressure to separate muscle tissue from the attached bones. Aging of beef has traditionally been used to increase tenderness and flavour and involves holding a carcass for up to 14 days under refrigeration. Packaging procedures must be included it the operator's prerequisite programs and HACCP system. Worst case scenarios must be included, specifically, the coldest spot of both the equipment and the product. The formulation of all prepared meat products, including potential allergens, must be controlled as part of the operator's HACCP system. The operator's prerequisite program and HACCP system must include a control program for restricted non-meat food products that includes: The operator of the registered establishment must use pasteurized processed egg which originates from a registered processed egg station or may purchase grade "Canada A" shell eggs from a registered egg station. For each lot, the operator must take 30 samples of finished product and submit them for analysis. Facilities for the removal of bones and trimmings must be provided. %%EOF }@ However, labelling of the product must comply with Section 94(6.1) of the MIR which stipulates: "If any meat product is not a ready-to-eat meat product but has the appearance of or could be mistaken for a ready-to-eat meat product, the meat product shall bear the following information on its label: In order to meet these requirements, the operator must label the meat product to prevent it from being mistaken for a cooked RTE product and provide clear preparation instructions that when followed by the consumer will fully cook the product (i.e. The protocol will then be evaluated by the National Specialist, Meat Processing in collaboration with the food safety group. Pe`~$/0X.H`87w Pc`T The temperature and duration of the cooking process for heat treated meat products should be such that the heat treatment alone or in combination with other preserving processes is sufficient to destroy pathogens and toxins.
