ANNEX VII U.K.

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

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.
