FAO. Section 8: Post-mortem Inspection//Good Practices for the Meat Industry. Rome: FAO, 2006: 7.RISK-BASED INSPECTION PROCEDURES
In certain circumstances, the competent authority may allow the use of a risk-based system of inspection instead of the traditional inspection procedures outlined above. In traditional systems, each individual animal is fully inspected, whereas a risk-based system may allow random full inspection of a proportion of the animals presented for slaughter. For a risk-based system to ensure wholesomeness of meat, the animals presented must be uniform, slaughter-generation (i.e. young) animals, of known health status. Older,cull animals would not be acceptable in such a system, as they carry a high risk of carrying diseases and pathogens.
To fulfil the requirement of known health status, an integrated rearing system would be needed, so that the disease history and management details of the herd/flock are known to the official carrying out meat inspection, including results of previous post-mortem inspections. From this information, the official would be able to make a judgement on the risk posed by the animals presented, and modify the post-mortem inspection regime accordingly. Therefore, if the risk were microbiological only, minimizing cross-contamination and preventing faecal contamination would be the priority, so the inspection would be predominantly visual.
However, if the risks were pathological, there would be a case for returning to traditional meat inspection procedures to allow removal of high-risk tissues and carcasses.
