Champ d’application

This standard applies to frozen packaged meat of livestock and poultry, including pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks, treated with specific irradiation sources. It is specifically designed for products irradiated with the purpose of eliminating Salmonella. This standard is mandatory for manufacturers utilizing irradiation for pathogen control in frozen meats. It references irradiation sources such as 60Co or 137Cs gamma rays and electron beams under 10MeV.

Exigences techniques

The standard outlines comprehensive hygienic requirements for irradiated frozen meats. It mandates that raw materials must be high-quality frozen packaged meats produced according to GB 12694. Manufacturers must ensure that the raw meat meets baseline quality criteria before irradiation. Regarding the irradiation process, the standard specifies limits for the average absorbed dose and requires uniform dose distribution. The dose ununiformity must be strictly controlled to ensure product safety and efficacy. The irradiation process must be uniform and accurate to meet compliance. Sensory and physicochemical requirements dictate that the irradiated meat must maintain the same sensory characteristics as non-irradiated equivalent products. It sets specific limits for volatile basic nitrogen and mercury content. Furthermore, the microbiological criteria strictly require that Salmonella must not be detected in the final product. Packaging and labeling requirements specify that the meat must be sealed in composite plastic films before irradiation, with outer cartons sealed using waterproof tape. Products must bear the official irradiated food label and comply with GB 7718.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard references specific testing methods to verify compliance. Volatile basic nitrogen is tested according to GB 5009.44. The determination of mercury content follows the procedures outlined in GB 5009.17. Finally, the detection of Salmonella is conducted using the microbiological examination methods specified in GB 4789.4.

Questions fréquentes

What products are regulated under GB 14891.7-1997?

It regulates frozen packaged meat of livestock and poultry, such as pork, beef, mutton, chicken, and duck, that have undergone irradiation specifically to kill Salmonella.

What is the maximum irradiation dose allowed under this standard?

The standard specifies that the average absorbed dose for irradiated frozen packaged meat must not exceed 2.5kGy, with a dose ununiformity of less than or equal to 2.0.

Are there specific packaging requirements for the irradiated meat?

Yes, the meat must be sealed in food-grade composite plastic film before irradiation, and the outer packaging must bear the official irradiated food label in compliance with GB 7718.
