Processing beef rules changed WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has finalized processing requirements for cooked corned beef and roast beef in federally inspected plants to reduce the potential for salmonella con tamination. The final regulation modifies slightly an interim rule im plemented by USDA last July. “In response to comments received, USDA will allow a variety of processing procedures to be used which assure safe and wholesome products,” said Donald L. Houston, administrator of USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. In 1977, USDA issued an emergency rule that required roast beef to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit to destory salmonella. Studies later showed that salmonella could also be killed by cooking longer at lower tem peratures, Houston said, so USDA revised its regulations to provide various com binations of cooking times and temperatures for roast beef. “Last year’s interim rule was implemented following several out breaks of salmonellosis. It tightened sanitation requirements and humidity controls for preparing cooked corned beef and roast beef,” Houston said. “We also required these items to be marked with the date of production, and additional handling and storing requirements were established.” The final rule will become effective July 1. Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, only wholesome, unadulter ated and truthfully labeled meat products may be sold in com merce. c®i the dairy way /.'•'^EATAND DARY FAVORTT^S^v
