Purpose of research: Applied research

In its ratification of EU Regulations (EC) Nos. 178/2002, 852-, 853-, 854- and 882/2004, the EU provided Member States with new options for monitoring food safety in conjunction with more flexible responsibility of food producers. Following an integrated “from stable to table” approach, the focus of this AP was risk-based meat inspection. So far, only few meat-packing operations and authorities are using this new process. The center of the activities was a comparison of existing regulatory monitoring systems, self-control systems developed in individual operations, as well as their shared continued development in Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, and the Netherlands. A first step in implementing this task was to generate an analysis of a comparison conducted on the existing different systems and structures in authorities and meat-packing operations in Niedersachsen, NRW, and the Netherlands. At the same time, a pilot project was conducted in a meat-packing operation in the county of Rotenburg/Wümme implementing risk-based meat inspection without cutting in pigs. Experiences from a pilot project that had already been completed at that time in the Netherlands were accessible for this WP thanks to the cooperation of the Dutch food safety authority nVWA (nieuwe Voedsel en Waren Autoriteit). In the context of this pilot project, a study was also conducted to establish verification methods in quality management.
