U.S. Revises the Guidelines for Small and Very Small Meat and Poultry Establishments regarding Cooking and Stabilization in Meat and Poultry Products

 

On December 14, 2021, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the availability of two updated guidelines for meat and poultry establishments concerning the destruction of Salmonella and other pathogens during cooking of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products (lethality) and the control of the growth of spore-forming Clostridial pathogens in heat-treated RTE and not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) meat and poultry products during cooling and hot-holding (stabilization). The updated guidelines reflect changes made in response to comments received on the 2017 versions of these guidelines.
