THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption(1), and in particular Article 18(9) and (10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down specific hygiene rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat(2) provides for methods of detection of Trichinella in samples of carcases. The reference method laid down in Annex I to that Regulation requires that for the detection of Trichinella larvae in meat samples, 10 ± 0,2 g of pepsin is to be added to the sample.
(2) Reports have been published(3) indicating that pepsin powder can cause allergic reactions in certain susceptible individuals.
(3) Investigations by the Community Reference Laboratory for Parasites indicated that the sensitivity of the reference method of detection for Trichinella is not altered when liquid pepsin is used according to the manufacturer's specifications instead of pepsin powder. Such an alternative should therefore be provided both for the reference method and the equivalent method of detection of Trichinella in meat.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
