Introduction

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland Act 1988, facilitated the establishment of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) to perform the functions assigned to it by this Act. The principle function of the Authority shall be to take all reasonable steps to ensure that:

(a) food production in the State (whether or not distributed or marketed in the State), and (b)food distributed or marketed in the State, meets the highest standards of food safety and hygiene reasonably available. It shall, in particular, take all reasonable steps to ensure that such food complies: 1) with any relevant food legislation in respect of food safety and hygiene standards, or 2) in the absence of any such legislation, with the provisions of generally recognised standards or codes of good practice aimed at ensuring the achievement of high standards of food hygiene and food safety.

The FSAI believes that Guidance Notes have a major role to play in helping both the regulators and the food industry achieve a higher degree of compliance with Regulations and with good practice generally.A good, well prepared, Guidance Note must, if it is to achieve these objectives, provide regulators and industry alike with clear guidance on the application of the relevant law. While a Guidance Note is not, of course, a substitute for the Regulations, the FSAI believes that adherence to it should make compliance easier by providing the basis for a high degree of consistency in application of those Regulations. In other words, the FSAI believes that a good Guidance Note will enhance respect for and compliance with the law and that all parties, especially consumers, will benefit.

We hope this series of Guidance Notes will meet the aims we have set out here and that they will contribute to the development of the high standards we aim to achieve in the food inspection service.

This document should be used as a guide when classifying food samples, submitted for microbiological and/or chemical analysis to the official food control laboratories by authorised officers. Classification of food samples into discrete categories will facilitate the health boards and laboratories in the completion of their returns to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, under the terms of the service contracts1.In turn, this will enable the completion of official statistical returns to the European Commission.The segregation of food into discrete categories and will also allow for a more in-depth analysis of these returns. Such information may prove valuable in the design of sampling programmes and trend spotting, with the overall intention of providing optimal data for the protection of the consumer.

Purpose

To standardise the recording of the particulars of a foodstuff submitted for testing by an authorised officer to the official laboratories.The standardised information will enable the correct completion of official statistical returns and clearer identification of food safety issues.The coding system is important to enable electronic capture of information in a database form at a national level.

Classifying and Coding a Food Sample

Samples are classified by EU category as defined by the European Communities2. In this classification system, each of the 21 categories are coded using an EU category code (01-21). EU categories and their associated codes are listed in Table 1.

Many products are easy to classify, however this is not always the case. Ambiguities may arise in certain instances. This is particularly the case with multi-component products containing food components from a number of different categories e.g. soft drinks containing yoghurt, products containing eggs and cereal, products containing meat and eggs, products containing fish and eggs, etc.

To clarify these issues a set of criteria has been developed to describe each EU category (see ‘Category Criteria’) and most products may be categorised using these criteria.The decision tree shown in Figure 1 should be applied if difficulty arises when classifying food samples.

NOTE: There are multi-component products that are not classified using the decision tree. For this reason it is important to read the criteria for each category as detailed in ‘Category Criteria’, where all exceptions are noted.

For assistance, example products are also listed in Appendix 1.

Category Criteria

• EU Category Code 1 - Dairy Products This category should be used for food samples that comply with the following definition:

"Milk products namely products exclusively derived from milk, it being accepted that substances necessary for their manufacture may be added provided that these substances are not used to replace in part or in whole any milk constituent, and composite milk products, namely products of which no part replaces or is intended to replace any milk constituent and of which milk or a milk product is an essential part, either in terms of quantity or characterisation of the product".3

Cheese, dairy fats, ice cream, milk and yoghurt should be categorised as Dairy Products.

Important Note: Products which contain only a minimal amount of milk or milk product would not be regarded as a milk product e.g. milk chocolate and drinks containing yoghurt. However, if the milk or milk product determines the character of the final product and it could not be made without the milk ingredient, then the product is regarded as a milk product e.g. cheeses and pre-prepared drinks made up with milk.

Clarification: The following inclusions and exclusions are applicable:

Inclusions • Custard prepared with milk •Butter and dairy fats • Drinking chocolate, ovaltine and other drinks prepared with milk.
