Change of guidelines for meat and meat products

The Expert Committee for Meat and Meat Products of the German Food Code Commission informed on 02/16/21 about its recommendations for further changes to the guidelines for meat and meat products.

The following descriptions have been adjusted in the guidelines:

• Meat (I.1 first paragraph and I.1.1 first paragraph)
• specific pieces of meat (I.1.1 second paragraph)
• Meat products (1.2)
• Veal roulades (II.2.509 second paragraph, second sentence)

There were further changes to the degree of chopping for corned beef (Guideline number 2.2332.1).

An overview of all changes can be found here.

The industry now has until 03/16/21 to comment on these changes.
