Safety control of meat and meat products

The country's food security is an important and, at the same time, difficult task for Russian agriculture in the context of the import substitution policy. Ensuring the safety and quality of raw materials and food products is a necessary condition that determines the health of the population and the preservation of its gene pool. The most crucial measure in solving the problem of the quality of livestock products is a scientifically based veterinary and sanitary assessment of meat and other livestock products. Therefore, control of the quality and safety of meat and its processed products is a relevant topic for study. The article analyses the procedure for the work of the regional veterinary service on the issues of monitoring the safety of meat and meat products and the data of the annual reports of the 5-vet test centre of the “Regional State Budgetary Institution (RSBI) "Altai Regional Veterinary Center for the Prevention and Diagnosis of Animal Diseases"' for 2020 - 2021. It has been established that the system of veterinary and sanitary control of the safety and quality of meat and meat products in the Altai Territory is carried out by the developed scheme and consists of tests of selected samples in testing laboratories accredited for these indicators. For the period 2021 – 2022 in the Altai Territory, no specimens with deviations from the regulatory documents TR CU 021/2011 Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the Safety of Food Products”, TR CU 034/2013 Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the Safety of Meat and Meat Products” were found in the tested samples. Tests are carried out quarterly for physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators of pesticides and annually for heavy metal salts, radionuclides, the presence of antibiotics, nitrites and hormones. The analysis results allow us to conclude the timely identification of meat and meat products of questionable quality.
