ANNEX VII

RISK-MITIGATING TREATMENTS FOR PRODUCTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN FROM THE RESTRICTED ZONE (as referred to in Articles 27, 33 and 49 of this Regulation)

a

Safe commodity.

b

Not for bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine casings.

c

Not for bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine casings.

d

Safe commodity.

e

Only for porcine animals.

f

Only for poultry meat.

g

F0 is the calculated killing effect on bacterial spores. An F0 value of 3 means that the coldest point in the product has been heated sufficiently to achieve the same killing effect as 121 °C (250 °F) in three minutes with instantaneous heating and chilling.

h

Disease abbreviations in accordance with Annex II.
