Title
Standard Guide for Irradiation of Pre-packaged Processed Meat and Poultry Products to Control Pathogens and Other Microorganisms
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jun 1, 2005
Scope:
This guide outlines procedures for the irradiation of pre-packaged
refrigerated and frozen
processed meat and poultry products.
NOTE 1 - The Codex Alimentarius Commission defines "meat" (including
poultry and game) as "the
edible part of any mammal slaughtered in an abattoir," and "poultry
meat" as "the edible part of
slaughtered domesticated birds, including chicken, turkeys, ducks,
geese, guinea-fowls, or
pigeons." (CAC/RCP 13-1976)
NOTE 2 - Current U.S. regulations limit the definition of livestock
species to cattle, sheep,
swine, goat, horse, mule, or other equine and poultry species to
chicken, turkey, duck, goose, and
guinea (2, 3).
This guide addresses all refrigerated and frozen meat and poultry
products NOT covered by Guide F
1356.
This guide provides information regarding absorbed doses used for
inactivation of parasites and
reduction of bacterial load. Such doses are typically less than 10
kilogray (kGy).
