The use of HACCP for producing and distributing processed meat and poultry products

  • Chapter
HACCP in Meat, Poultry, and Fish Processing

Part of the book series: Advances in Meat Research ((ADMERE,volume 10))

Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of HACCP to enhance the safety of processed meat and poultry products. It will be assumed that these products are produced under federal inspection by the US Department of Agriculture or its equivalent in a state inspected facility. The product categories described earlier will be used (Tompkin, 1986). Fermented products will not be discussed. Some information concerning fermented meats is available in an earlier volume of this series (Bacus, 1986).
