| 6. | Description of content: Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides that as from the end of 2010 fresh poultry meat from breeding flocks of Gallus gallus, laying hens, broilers and turkeys may not be placed on the market for human consumption unless it meets the criterion Salmonella absence in 25 g. The Regulation also stipulates that detailed rules, in particular sampling schemes and analytical methods for this criterion, shall be defined. The purpose of the draft proposal is to implement Regulation 2160/2003 by setting the detailed rules for Salmonella food safety criterion in fresh poultry meat by amending Regulation 2073/2005. The criterion is proposed to be set for Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium. The horizontal analytical method ISO 6579 is proposed to be the reference method, none out of five 25 g samples would be allowed to contain these serotypes of Salmonella when products are placed on the market during their shelf-life. |
