Abstract / Zusammenfassung

Meat inspection (MI) is essential to verify compliance with legal requirements related to human and animal health, as well as animal welfare protection. During MI, in case of a gross pathological finding, official veterinarians (OV) need to apply a judgement criterion to decide if meat is unfit for human consumption, resulting in important and useful condemnation data. However, although the European Meat Inspection Regulation (EU) Nº 2019/627 sets out judgement criteria, most are generic, favouring flexibility and subjectivity. Therefore, condemnation data, which is important for livestock farmers, surveillance, and for benchmarking purpose, could be affected.
