Preface The aim of The Science of Poultry and Meat Processing book is to provide students and industry personnel with a comprehensive view of the modernized primary poultry meat industry and further processing of both red meat and poultry. An emphasis is placed on basic concepts as well as recent advancements such as automation (e.g. increasing poultry line speed from 3,000 to 13,000 birds per hour over the last 40 years) and food safety (e.g. HACCP in primary and the further processing areas). The book also includes chapters explaining basic muscle biology, protein gelation, heat and mass transfer, microbiology, as well as meat colour and texture to help the reader understand the underlying scientific concepts of meat processing. The Science of Poultry and Meat Processing book is based on over two decades of university teaching experiences, and is designed to be used as a course textbook by students, as well as a resource for professionals working in the food industry. The book is available online, at no cost, to any interested learner. Using this format has also allowed me to include many colour pictures, illustrations and graphs to help the reader.

The book is dedicated to my past and current students who have inspired me to learn more and conduct challenging research projects. I see this as an opportunity to give back to the field that I have received so much from as a student and as a faculty member. Looking back, I have learned a great deal from my MSc and PhD advisor, Dr. A. Maurer, who was the student of Dr. R. Baker - the father of poultry processing in North America. I would also like to thank Dr. H. Swatland with whom I worked for almost 20 years, for the many challenging scientific discussions.

Writing The Science of Poultry and Meat Processing book was a long process, which also included having all chapters peer reviewed. I appreciate the help of my colleagues, but I still take responsibility for any inaccuracy in the book. If you have comments or suggestions, I would appreciate hearing from you ([email protected]), as I am planning to revise and update a few chapters on a yearly basis.

I would like to thank the many people who have helped me during the writing process. To Deb Drake who entered all of the material for the book, to Mary Anne Smith who assisted in editing, and to ArtWorks Media for the design and desktop publishing of the book. I greatly appreciate the help of my colleagues who reviewed chapters and provided useful discussions. They include Mark B., Ori B., Sarge B., Gregoy B., Joseph C., Mike D., Hans G., Theo H., Melvin H., Myra H., Walter K., Roland K., Anneke L., Massimo M., Johan M., Erik P., Robert R., Uwe T., Rachel T., Jos V., Keith W., and Richard Z. I would also like to thank my family for their love and support during the entire process.

12HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONS

12.1 Cooked Product – Generic HACCP Model for Cooked Meat

A large portion of the further processed meat products in the marketplace are sold as fully cooked products. Examples include luncheon meats (e.g., bologna, mortadella), whole muscle meats (e.g., oven roasted chicken/turkey, ham) and fermented products (e.g., pepperoni, summer sausage). This chapter describes a generic HACCP model that was developed for cooked ham using either whole muscle turkey/pork leg meat. The model is used to illustrate production steps common to cooked products and it also discusses potential critical control points (CCPs) and limits that could be set to control hazards. The generic model described here was developed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA, 1998). However, it can also be used as an example for various types of other cooked meat products. An introduction to HACCP and its seven principles has been provided in Chapter 6. The model described in this chapter has many similarities to the USDA (1999) model for cured, cooked products, which includes the ‘ready-to-eat’ (RTE) category of products that do not require heating prior to consumption by the consumer. However, some are heated to enhance product’s acceptability (e.g., frankfurter). The products are cured, which means that they contain different salts (e.g., sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, sodium nitrite) that can also play a role in preserving the product (see Chapter 15). After cooking, proper refrigeration or freezing is commonly used to maintain the safety of the RTE product and to prolong the shelf life. A description of the product is available in Table 12.1.1, which is part of the HACCP documentation.

12.2 Process Steps

The process flow diagram is presented in Fig. 12.2.1. In addition, see Chapter 10 for a detailed description of the processing steps involved in preparing a cooked product and the equipment used. The process starts with receiving the meat and all the non-meat ingredients. This is also the first control point for biological, chemical, and physical hazards (see Table 12.2.1). The biological hazards mainly include microorganisms in the raw meat (e.g., Salmonella) or bacteria that have been transferred from people handling the meat at the plant (e.g., Staphylococcus). Of major concern is also the introduction of pathogens to the cooked product prior to packaging (i.e., cross contamination). Table 12.2.1 indicates that CCP-6B and CCP-7B (the cooking and chilling steps, respectively) are two potential control points for this kind of a hazard. Overall, the cooking step is designed to kill most (if not all) of the non-spore forming bacteria (e.g., Listeria), and therefore post-cooking contamination can be a major safety issue as is also indicated by CCP-8B, which refers to slicing the fully cooked product (see also discussions on E. coli and Listeria in Chapter 15).

Chemical hazards in the incoming raw meat may include antibiotics, pesticides and other drug residues that are not permitted by law. Therefore, the receiving point is designated as CCP-1, meaning that the raw materials must be checked. In some cases the processor will require a Letter of Guarantee from the raw meat ingredient supplier to certify that there are no antibiotics or pesticides in the raw ingredients. Besides being illegal, these ingredients can also interfere

with processing procedures such as fermentation (e.g., presence of low levels of antibiotic will prevent the growth of lactic acid bacteria and result in a significant economic loss).

Physical hazards in the incoming meat (Table 12.2.1) may include metallic and non-metallic substances (e.g., glass, wood, plastic) that might accidentally fall into the product and/or arrive already in the product (e.g., broken injection needle). This critical step (CCP-1) should be designed to eliminate foreign particles by sampling on raw materials to verify compliance. In addition, some companies are using supplier audit programs where they go visit and inspect facilities. If the number

Page 12: HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONSdownload.poultryandmeatprocessing.com/v01...HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONS 12.1 Cooked Product ... cooking contamination can be a major safety issue

12-8 CHAPTER 12: HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONS

of complaints (related to foreign objects or other safety/quality issues) increases, more audits will be performed. If no improvement is seen, the supplier might be terminated. At the food processing plant, raw material sampling is performed by equipment such as a metal detector, x-ray (see photo in Chapter 9), or simple visual inspection to identify and then remove any potential problems. Because metal parts (e.g., screws) can fall into the product during processing, a metal detector is also positioned at the end of the processing line to check the final products before shipping (Fig. 12.2.1). However, if there is a known problem of meat arriving with metal particles a metal detector should be placed at the raw material receiving point. Spice suppliers, for example, check all their raw materials (e.g., using metal detectors, sieving) prior to shipping goods to the meat processing plant and are also usually required to provide a Letter of Guarantee.

Table 12.2.2 shows a detailed step-by-step design of a HACCP plan to control the various identified hazards. The table provides information about critical limits, monitoring procedures, deviations, verifications, and record keeping. An introduction to the different steps can be found in Chapter 6.

Table 12.2.3 is an example of a HACCP record keeping sheet for monitoring the showering and chilling of the final cooked product. It is essential that the process be monitored on a continuous basis. That way, problems are flagged as soon as possible and the employee responsible can execute the pre-determined corrective actions and/or reprocessing steps. The rigid process and pre-determined corrective actions take away any employee guesswork, allow the HACCP plans to evolve, and also demonstrate to the inspection agency that consistent corrective actions are taken. Each deviation, its date, and its corrective actions must be available to inspectors. It is usually mandatory to keep records for several years (e.g., 5 years). This tool also helps plant management to focus on sensitive areas and use the concept of an improvement loop to continuously enhance food safety.

There are other documents that can be used to help the processor in designing and/or improving the generic model (i.e., as indicated in Chapter 6, the generic model is intended to be used as a starting point for a specific plant). An example of a useful document is the USDA Compliance Guidelines for Meeting Lethality Performance Standards for Cooked Ready-To-Eat (RTE) Meat and Poultry Products. In it, the USDA is presenting a lethality model for cooked, sliced meat that illustrates how processors can ensure that a specified minimum destructive temperature is achieved and maintained long enough to inactivate certain pathogens.

Page 19: HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONSdownload.poultryandmeatprocessing.com/v01...HACCP IN COOKED MEAT OPERATIONS 12.1 Cooked Product ... cooking contamination can be a major safety issue

12-15THE SCIENCE OF POULTRY AND MEAT PROCESSING – BARBUT

In 2001, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed a rule entitled “Performance Standards for the Production of Processed Meat and Poultry Products’’ (66 FR 12590). The proposed regulations included performance standards, Listeria testing requirements, and also standards for the destruction of Trichina in pork products. The regulations are also applicable to cooked beef, roast beef, chunked and formed roasts, corned beef, and poultry products. The FSIS included compliance guidelines for lethality (Appendix A of the final rule) that describes times and temperatures necessary to achieve a 6.5 log10 or 7.0 log10 reduction of Salmonella in meat products (Dawson et al., 2012). These same compliance tables can be used for other RTE meat, such as meat patties. Regulations about cooling times of fully cooked products are also used to eliminate/reduce the risk of microorganisms such as C. perfringens growth during the cooling phase.

The proposed regulations also indicated that:

a. Cooked poultry rolls and other cooked poultry products should reach an internal temperature of at least 160 °F prior to being removed from the cooking medium. However, cured and smoked poultry rolls and other cured and smoked poultry should reach an internal temperature of at least 155 °F prior to being removed from the cooking medium. Cooked ready-to-eat product to which heat will be applied incidental to a subsequent processing procedure may be removed from the media for such processing provided that it is immediately fully cooked to 160°F internal temperature.

b. Establishments producing cooked poultry rolls and other cooked poultry products should have sufficient monitoring equipment, including recording devices, to assure that the temperature (accuracy assured within 1 °F) limits of these processes are being met. Note that manual detection should also be performed to verify recorders are working correctly. Data from the recording devices should be made available to FSIS program employees upon request.

The FSIS also included revised time-temperature combinations for cooking RTE poultry (i.e., revised from the previous combinations published for products such as roast beef and pork). The revised material was previously published in a scientific paper (Juneja et al., 2001). The authors developed a formula for predicting time/temperature combinations necessary for achieving a 7 log10 reduction of Salmonella in RTE poultry with different fat levels, as well as standard errors for these predictions (see example in Table 12.2.4). The revised times are actually significantly longer than those that were assumed to be effective in the past. A processor can also consult the different alternatives for Listeria control issued by FSIS (2014).
