Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to irradiated cooked meat of livestock and poultry, specifically targeting products like cooked pork, beef, mutton, rabbit meat, salted duck, roast duck, and roast chicken. It is designed for products sterilized using gamma rays or electron beams with the explicit purpose of extending shelf life. It is mandatory for manufacturers utilizing irradiation technology on these specific ready-to-eat meat products.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard outlines comprehensive hygienic and technical requirements for irradiated cooked meats. For raw materials, the meat must comply with corresponding national hygienic standards and food production regulations prior to irradiation. Packaging requirements mandate that each minimum sales unit be individually vacuum-sealed in composite plastic film bags, with outer packaging using moisture-proof corrugated cardboard boxes. Regarding irradiation parameters, the standard specifies strict dose limits. The overall average absorbed dose must not exceed the maximum threshold, and the irradiation must be uniform, with the non-uniformity of the dose distribution strictly controlled. The radiation sources permitted include 60Co or 137Cs gamma rays and electron beams from accelerators with energy below 10MeV. Sensory indicators require the packaging to remain intact with internal negative pressure. The meat must maintain its inherent texture, color, and flavor without any signs of spoilage, mold, or off-odors. Physicochemical and microbiological limits, including nitrite content and specific bacterial pathogen counts, are also strictly regulated to ensure food safety. Compliance with these microbiological limits is critical for product approval.

Métodos de ensayo

Testing procedures involve sensory evaluations conducted via visual inspection, manual examination, smelling, and tasting. Physicochemical testing, specifically for nitrite content, follows the methodologies outlined in the referenced standard GB 5009.33. Microbiological examinations are conducted in accordance with GB 4789.17 to verify total plate counts, coliform groups, and the absence of pathogenic bacteria.
