Meat products originating in the third countries or parts of third countries referred to in Article 4(b) shall comply with the following conditions set out in (a), (b) or (c).

1. (a)

   the meat products must:

   1. (i)

      contain meat and/or meat products derived from a single species or animal as set out under the relevant column in Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II indicating the species or animal concerned; and

   2. (ii)

      have undergone at least the specific treatment required for meat of that species or animal as set out in Part 4 of Annex II; or

2. (b)

   the meat products must:

   1. (i)

      contain fresh, processed or partly processed meat of more than one species or animal as set out under the relevant column of Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II which are mixed prior to undergoing their final treatment as set out in Part 4 of Annex II; and

   2. (ii)

      the final treatment referred to in (i) must be at least as severe as the most severe treatment set out in Part 4 of Annex II for meat of the species or animals concerned as set out under the relevant column in Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II; or

3. (c)

   the final meat products must:

   1. (i)

TREATMENTS REFERRED TO IN ANNEX I

Non-specific treatment:

A

No minimum specified temperature or other treatment is established for animal health purposes for the meat product. However, the meat must have undergone a treatment such that its cut surface shows that it no longer has the characteristics of fresh meat and the fresh meat used must also satisfy the animal health rules applicable to exports of fresh meat into the Community.

Specific treatments listed in descending order of severity:

B

Treatment in a hermetically sealed container to an F_o value of three or more.

C

A minimum temperature of 80 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the processing of the meat product.

D

A minimum temperature of 70 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the processing of meat products, or for raw ham, a treatment consisting of natural fermentation and maturation of not less than nine months and resulting in the following characteristics:

• A_w value of not more than 0,93,

• pH value of not more than 6,0.

E

In the case of “biltong”-type products, a treatment to achieve:

• A_w value of not more than 0,93,

• pH value of not more than 6,0.

F

A heat treatment ensuring that a centre temperature of at least 65 °C is reached for a period of time as necessary to achieve a pasteurisation value (pv) equal to or above 40.
