FCI refers to the information on the health status of the animal consigned for slaughter and the holding of origin. CCIR refers to information that is collected during post-mortem inspection by officials and sent back to farmers to improve animal health and welfare and ultimately food safety.
The study would be for the meat inspection of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, and, if appropriate, different production systems.
The research, which aims to gather evidence to adapt meat inspection to better target public health, animal health and animal welfare conditions, supports the FSA review of meat controls.
The objective of the FSA’s review of meat controls is to improve public health by adopting a more risk- and evidence-based approach to meat production. More about the review of meat controls can be found via the link below.
