HYGIENE - New Commission report identifies best practices for slaughter hygiene

Best in class working practices and effective official control systems are important for a high level of slaughter hygiene and subsequently consumer safety.

This report highlights a number of practices by slaughterhouse operators or competent authorities, which positively affect slaughter hygiene. Examples include clean livestock policy, carcass contamination recording systems, and risk profiling of slaughterhouses together with the publication of official controls' results.

The Commission collected these good practices during a series of study visits in several countries of the European Economic Area.

To learn more about best in class working practices and effective official controls, please read the report.
