Enhancing Food Safety in Livestock: A Comprehensive Approach to Meat Inspection and Hygiene

The Hygiene Working Group's report to the General Assembly addresses the urgent need for a risk-based and harmonized meat inspection system to ensure food safety in the livestock sector. It emphasizes the importance of targeting controls and verifying industry practices while promoting consumer protection. Key strategies include modernizing inspection methods, such as ante-mortem inspections and decontamination processes, while fostering cooperation among stakeholders. A global strategy for mutual acceptance of inspection revisions is also proposed to facilitate better hygiene practices and improve public health, animal welfare, and food safety management systems.
