  1. Regulation (EC) No 854 & implementation measures by Ron Dwinger DG SANCO

  2. SANCO Summary • Visual inspection • Involvement of slaughterhouse staff • Implementing measures • Guidance documents • Action points Iceland-150605

  3. SANCO Tasks for the CA veterinarian • primary production information • ante-mortem inspection (on the farm) • animal welfare aspects • post-mortem inspection • canalization of destruction material • interpretation of lab results • feedback of inspection results • audits and inspections Iceland-150605

  4. SANCO Visual inspection - 1  poultry, lagomorphs fattening pigs • housed under controlled conditions • in integrated production systems • since weaning • risk assessment (epidemiological data)  other species (calves, lambs, kids) Iceland-150605

  5. SANCO Visual inspection - 2 • GAP • clean animals • food chain information • free of diseases (Salmonella) • no outdoor access • serological monitoring (Trichinella) Iceland-150605

  6. Iceland-150605

  7. SANCO Inspection of poultry • health certificate: 72 hours (same) • pre-slaughter document = food chain info > 24 hours in advance • identification: of animals (cage) • p. m.: all birds (incisions only if) • official veterinarian: - daily a representative sample (300) - random sample of those unfit Iceland-150605

  8. SANCO Involvement of company staff- 1 • optional for Member States • on a case by case basis • CA may not force a company • only in specific sectors • CA must inform the Commission Iceland-150605

  9. SANCO Involvement of company staff- 2 • slaughterhouse must meet conditions • only specific tasks (no audit tasks) • independent from production staff • under supervision of veterinarian • training requirements (as for official aux.) • vet carries out performance tests • certificate Iceland-150605

  10. SANCO Implementing measures  Trichinella testing • food chain information • two types of MSM • antimicrobial treatment • HACCP • transitional arrangements Iceland-150605

  11. SANCO Trichinella - 1 Major changes (compared with 77/96/EC) • larger sized sample of meat (animals at risk) • reference method  notany longertrichinoscopic method (except)  derogations • slaughter pigs kept under specified conditions • freezing (except horse and game meat) Iceland-150605

  12. SANCO Trichinella - 2 registration of Trichinella free holdings farmer: husbandry (feed, not outdoors) pest control, etc. CA: regular farm controls monitoring program annual report contingency plan • but testing of horses, wild boar, breeding pigs, “organic” pigs Iceland-150605

  13. SANCO Food chain information - 1  contact details (farm, vet.) identification details  management data  animal health status  treatments  additional information (disease free farm, slaughterfindings, disease monitoring, etc.) Iceland-150605

  14. SANCO Food chain information - 2  preferably in advance (24 hours) accompany the animals: horses, markets, emergency, a.m. at farm  not all information necessary (QA scheme)  OV can permit immediate slaughter  up to 24 hr delay for FCI ( separate storage)  transitional arrangements Iceland-150605

  15. SANCO Feedback to farmer  observations on live animal (health, welfare, clean animals)  observations on dead animal slaughterfindings: lung or joint diseases tail biting injection sites, etc.  coding suggested; form suggested Iceland-150605

  16. SANCO Iceland-150605

  17. SANCO MSM – two types I - traditional/hard method: high pressure (180-250 Bar)  heat treatment  meat product II – soft method:lower pressure and a Baader filter (2-3 mm)  microbiological criteria (as minced meat) • Ca content <0.1 % of fresh product • meat preparation  heat treatment • raw material and storage Iceland-150605

  18. Iceland-150605

  19. SANCO anti-microbial treatment - 1 Legal base • not permitted according to current legislation (64/433/EEC; 71/118/EEC) • permitted according to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 applicable with effect from 1-1-2006 Iceland-150605

  20. SANCO anti-microbial treatment - 2 Scientific opinions • SCVPH opinion of 30 October 1998 general principles • SCVPH opinion of 14-15 April 2003 evaluation of four substances: chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite,trisodium phosphate, peroxyacids Iceland-150605

  21. SANCO anti-microbial treatment - 3 Principles of draft proposal • actions at primary production (Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003) • HACCP is a prerequisite • only for poultry meat • substances need approval Iceland-150605

  22. SANCO anti-microbial treatment - 4 Details • currently four substances under consideration: chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite,trisodium phosphate, peroxyacids • not more than one substance at a time • rinsing after application is required • labelling (consumer information) Iceland-150605

  23. SANCO anti-microbial treatment - 5 The substances • chlorine dioxide – reaction products? • acidified sodium chlorite – reaction products? • peroxyacids - data on efficacy are limited • trisodium phosphate – approved as additive Iceland-150605

  24. Iceland-150605

  25. SANCO Transitional arrangements • trichinoscopic examination • “24 hour” requirement for FCI • implementation period for FCI • training of slaughterhouse staff • international certification • Trichinella laboratories Iceland-150605

  26. SANCO Guidance documents • Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 • Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 • HACCP flexibility • community guides • import requirements • multi-annual control plans • auditing Iceland-150605

  28. SANCO Action points: training • hunters: trained person • official veterinarians • auditors • official auxiliaries • slaughterhouse staff Iceland-150605

  29. SANCO Action points: national legislation • slaughter on the farm (poultry, rabbits) • supply of small quantities • examination of game meat (wild boar) • continuation of traditional methods (or ethnic trade) • retail Iceland-150605

  30. SANCO Discussion points • clean animal policy • ante-mortem and p.m. inspection • composite products • third country requirements (registration, HACCP) Iceland-150605
