Microbiological Quality of Red Meat Offal Produced at Australian Export Establishments

Abstract: A national baseline study of offal hygiene was undertaken at 17 Australian export establishments. A total of 1756 samples of different offal types were analysed for aerobic plate count (APC), generic Escherichia coli, and coliform bacteria. Average APC values varied from 1.51 to 5.26 Log10 CFU/g, depending on species and offal type. The average APC on beef, sheep, lamb, and goat offal was 3.25, 3.38, 3.70, and 2.97 Log10 CFU/g, respectively. There is a small but significant difference in APC on offal sampled f… Show more

“…Tongues and meats derived from the head might also be expected to have a higher bacterial loading, stemming from contamination with saliva. The mean APCs in Table 10 are very similar to those obtained in a contemporaneous survey of chilled and frozen offals from 17 Australian export establishments which stated "the average APC on beef, sheep and lamb offal was 3.25, 3.38 and 3.70 log 10 cfu/g, respectively" [18].…”

“…In some cultures, the definition is further extended to include head skin, lip, bone, bone marrow, testicle, nipple, tendon, ovary, and more [6,14]. In some cultures, offal is considered an impure food and a method of humiliation, while other cultures regard it as a delicacy [10,14,15].…”

“…Therefore, offal became an affordable solution as a low-price source of protein for Indonesian families. However, a recent cultural shift has caused perceptions toward offal to change drastically, as it is currently considered a unique or even luxurious food [9,10].…”

“…Therefore, microbiological tests are conducted on canned food to guarantee its safety and quality. These tests include the detection of pathogenic microorganisms, counting the total number of microorganisms, assessing pH levels, evaluating microbiological stability, and detecting spoilage microorganisms (Vanderlinde, et, al. 2022) The pathogen detection test aims to identify harmful microorganisms like Salmonella, E. coli, or Staphylococcus aureus that can cause illnesses if consumed.…”
