Or. Admin. Code § 603-029-1160 - Requirements for the Production of Cooked Beef, Roast Beef, and Cooked Corned Beef Products
(1) Cooked beef,
roast beef, and cooked corned beef products must be produced using processes
ensuring that the products meet the following performance standards:
(a) Lethality. A 6.5-log10 reduction of
Salmonella or an alternative lethality that achieves an equivalent probability
that no viable Salmonella organisms remain in the finished product, as well as
the reduction of other pathogens and their toxins or toxic metabolites
necessary to prevent adulteration, must be demonstrated to be achieved
throughout the product. The lethality process must include a cooking step.
Controlled intermediate step(s) applied to raw product may form part of the
basis for the equivalency.
(b)
Stabilization. There can be no multiplication of toxigenic microorganisms such
as Clostridium botulinum, and no more than 1-log10 multiplication of
Clostridium perfringens within the product.
(2) For each product produced using a process
other than one conducted in accordance with the Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Point (HACCP) system requirements in OAR 603-029-2200 to 603-029-2235,
a state-inspected establishment must develop and have on file and available to
the Department, a process schedule, as defined in OAR 603-029-0010. Each
process schedule must be approved in writing by a process authority for safety
and efficacy in meeting the critical controls established for the product in
question. A process authority must have access to the state-inspected
establishment in order to evaluate and approve the safety and efficacy of each
process schedule.
(3) Under the
auspices of a processing authority, an establishment must validate new or
altered process schedules by scientifically supportable means, such as
information gleaned from the literature or by challenge studies conducted
outside the plant.
