Lecture 10 - Meat Products for Consumption

Restricted

What products include any meat or meat product that has been inspected and passed but cannot be released for human consumption until it has been subjected to a required treatment, because it has a disease or condition that might be transmitted to humans if the meat is not treated? These can be used for human food after treatments are completed, and are not the same as condemned or inedible products. FSIS personnel must verify that treatment has been done.

Freezing

Restricted products passed for what are those carcasses that are mildly/moderately affected with beef cysticercosis from T. saginata, and can be passed once these are removed? This process destroys tapeworm cysts, and requires a temperature of 15 F for 10 days.

Heating

Restricted products passed for what include affected tissues removed from carcasses, including those mildly/moderately affected with cysticercosis from T. ovis and cysticercosis from T. saginata? This requires a minimum internal temperature of 140 F before passing.

Cooking

Restricted products passed for what include affected tissues removed from the carcass with mild-moderate bovine TB (healthy reactors with no lesions), caseous lymphadenitis, and swine cysticercosis from T. solium? It requires a temperature of 170 F for 30 minutes before passing.

Comminuted cooked

Restricted products passed as what products include carcasses with mild eosinophilic myositis and boar carcasses with a mild sexual odor? These products are finely ground and have a uniform appearance, and are cooked to 160 F.

Dyes

What substances are injected into inedible/condemned products, and then are sent to hashers, rendering, or incineration?

Hasher

What waste removal system involves grinding bones, meat, BVs, and fat together, which does not produce an edible appearance, and must be done in an area segregated from edible product processing?

Rendering

What waste removal system involves hashing and cooking inedible products in a steam-jacketed tank, drying the material and separating fat from bone and protein?

Fat

What product of rendering is used in industry?

Protein

What product of rendering is used as a supplement in feed and fertilizer?

Bone

What product of rendering is used in animal rations?

Blood

What product of rendering is dried and processed as meal?

Incineration

What waste removal system is rarely used due to economics and air pollution?
