Monitoring critical control points and verification of HACCP with new methods.

Author(s) : GUSTAVSSON P.

Summary

Rapid monitoring of contamination and growth of bacteria on meat is necessary if corrective actions to prevent hazards are to be instituted. The number of organisms needed for detection by these rapid methods is often higher than the level of acceptability. Semi-rapid techniques, such as impedimetry, can then be used for monitoring critical process by sampling the carcass at different stages along the processing line. The concept of the temperature function integration index, upon observations and other measurements indicative of contamination and growth during CCP monitoring, brings focus on using more advanced verification methods. Molecular fingerprinting of bacterial isolates are also useful for validation of HACCP plans.
