In the case of fish fillets or fish slices, such visual testing is carried out during their pre­paration. If individual testing is impossible due to the fillet size or filleting technique a sampling plan has to be dra­wn up and be made accessible to the responsible surveillance authorities. If it is technically possible to test the fillets on a light table, this technique should be taken into account in the saimpling plan.

Fresh fisherv products which are to be frozen e.g. herring, mackerel, herring flaps, red-fish fillets. Alaska pollack fil­lets etc. have to be produced according to the same hygiene standards as fresh fish.

In order to meet the proces­sing requirements demanded for the prevention of nemato­des fishery products have to be frozen to a core temperature of at least -20°C within 12 hours. This temperature has to be maintained for at least 24 hours.

Temperatures higher than -18°C are permissible for whole fish which are frozen in a solu­tion of table salt and destined for canning. Temperature must not exceed -9°C however.

The thawing of fishery pro­ducts must always be carried out under conditions of per­fect hygiene. Soiling via packaging materia and/or thawing on the floor is not permitted. Contamination of fishery products via the melt water is also to be avoided. This has to be drained away to prevent it coming into contact with the products being tha­wed. Thawing in crates, for example, is dubious from a hygiene point of view. Tha­wing shelves are the ideal solution.

Thawing -in boxes with or without holes are not permit­ted by the Hygiene Regulati­on because products below or inside the boxes become con­taminated by the melt water.

Санитарными нормами недопускается оттаивание продуктов в ящиках с отверстиями или без них, т.к. талая вода приводит к порче продуктов в самих ящиках или под ними.

Thawing racks are not permu­ted by the Hygiene Regulati­on because the products be­low become contaminated by the melt water.

Санитарными нормами недопускается оттаивание продуктов на решетках, т.к. талая вода приводит к порче продуктов находящихся под ними.

During thawing the tempera­ture of the products must not rise excessively so thawing should be monitored via  temperature controls. The core temperature should not be above +2°C.

The diagram below shows clearly which impacts cooling or heating temperature can have on germ reproduction during the fishery products production process.

Thawed fishery products have to be processed immediately after thawing.

Products which are preserved by thermal processing in sea­led containers have to be pro­duced using water of drin­king quality as understood by Directive 80 778 E\VG Thermal processing criteria such as heating time, tempe­rature, filling technique and container size must be fixed and the thermal treatment suited to killing or inactiva­ting all pathogenic micro-organisms.

The appropriate thermal treatment of the containers has to be checked and recorded via suitable measurements. Following thermal processing the containers have to be coo­led using potable water as un­derstood by the Directive mentioned above. Chemical additives can be put into the drinking \\ater to prevent ru­sting of the plants or contai­ners.

Producers of canned products must carry out sample-testing to make sure thermal processing was sufficient  for the processed fishery products.

To do this, incubation tests over a period of 7 days at a temperature of37°C or of 10 day: at a temperature of 35T or under equivalent conditi­ons have to be carried out. Furthermore, samples must be taken of the contents of the containers for microbiological testing.
