Emulsion, cure, casing and smoke are four separate crafts held to a single discipline.
Overview
Sausage plants push several styles of product through one building, and this 53-chapter guideline with six annexes treats each on its own terms, aligned with the Codex meat hygiene and smoked-food codes and with ISO 22000. Sausage types and their differing hazard profiles come first, then the establishment and its one-way flow.
The material controls follow, from meat raw materials and species authenticity to the compositional limits placed on fillers and binders, and the process chapters then track each style through to its shelf life. It is supplied as one editable Word guideline.
What it covers
- Meat raw materials and species authenticity, fillers and binders with compositional limits, additives, curing agents, casings and allergens
- Tempering and mincing, bowl chopping and emulsification, mixing, stuffing and linking
- Fermentation and drying, cooking, smoking, cooling after cooking, chilling and freezing
- Listeria control in ready-to-eat areas, packaging, labelling, and baseline shelf life by type, packaging and storage condition
- Microbiological and chemical verification with shelf-life validation, and annexes carrying product specification tables, an inspection checklist, post-cook cleaning rules and Codex and ISO mapping
Who it's for
Producers of fresh, cooked, smoked and fermented sausage, plant and QA managers rewriting their process controls, and inspectors of meat processing establishments. Bought when a customer audit is booked or a new style goes on the line, it leaves the plant with one referenced text covering every product it makes.
