M01045: Evaluation of data generated by meat plants for current HACCP verification purposes and future slaughterhouse hygiene purposes

Wednesday 1 November 2006

Study Duration : November 2005 to October 2007

Contractor : Hutchison Scientific Services Ltd.

Background

A large amount of data has been generated from microbiological testing and other procedures undertaken in the context of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) based systems for red and white meat since the HACCP regulations came into force in 2002. There is a need to investigate how this data has been used to assess hygiene, what additional information could be gained from this and how these measures could be used in the future.

Research Approach

This project will identify non-microbiological process information that is (or could be) routinely collected by UK meat processors for HACCP purposes and determine how data collected for HACCP monitoring purposes is used by plant operators for process monitoring and/or improvements. In addition the scientific basis of the value of any measure including best practice information will be assessed
