  • A risk ranking process identified Salmonella spp. and pathogenic verocytotoxin‐producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) as current high‐priority biological hazards for meat inspection of bovine animals. As these hazards are not detected by traditional meat inspection, a meat safety assurance system for the farm‐to‐chilled carcass continuum using a risk‐based approach was proposed. Key elements of the system are risk‐categorisation of slaughter animals for high‐priority biological hazards based on improved food chain information, as well as risk‐categorisation of slaughterhouses according to their capability to control those hazards. Omission of palpation and incision during post‐mortem inspection for animals subjected to routine slaughter may decrease spreading and cross‐contamination with the high‐priority biological hazards. For chemical hazards, dioxins and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls were ranked as being of high potential concern; all other substances were ranked as of medium or lower concern. Monitoring programmes for chemical hazards should be more flexible and based on the risk of occurrence, taking into account the completeness and quality of the food chain information supplied and the ranking of chemical substances, which should be regularly updated to include new hazards. Control programmes across the food chain, national residue control programmes, feed control and monitoring of environmental contaminants should be better integrated. Meat inspection is a valuable tool for surveillance and monitoring of animal health and welfare conditions. Omission of palpation and incision would reduce detection effectiveness for bovine tuberculosis and would have a negative impact on the overall surveillance system especially in officially tuberculosis free countries. The detection effectiveness for bovine cysticercosis, already low with the current meat inspection system, would result in a further decrease, if palpation and incision are removed. Extended use of food chain information could compensate for some, but not all, the information on animal health and welfare lost if only visual post‐mortem inspection is applied.
