Press Release: Meat inspection: EFSA completes review of practices and recommends improvements

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in June 2013, completed a major piece of work that will provide the scientific basis for the modernisation of meat inspection across the EU.

Four Scientific Opinions published on 27 June 2013 provide advice on meat inspection procedures in cattle, sheep and goats, farmed game, and domestic solipeds such as horses. These outputs follow two previous opinions on inspection of swine and poultry, published respectively in 2011 and 2012.
