“…According to Borch and colleagues [98], the following affiliation to CCPs made for specific steps during slaughter and dressing may serve as a guidance: (i) lairage (CP), (ii) killing (CP), (iii) scalding (CP), (iv) dehairing (CP), (v) singeing/flaming (CP), (vi) polishing (CP), (vii) circumoral incision and removal of the intestines (CCP), (viii) excision of the tongue, pharynx, and in particular the tonsils (CCP), (ix) splitting (CP), (x) post mortem inspection procedures (CCP) and (xi) deboning of the head (CCP). Most, if not all, of these CCPs have been highlighted by Salmonella post-harvest studies, but the most important CCPs associated with Salmonella contamination and spread, both between carcasses and within the slaughter environment, include carcass singeing, carcass scalding (considering water temperature and duration of scalding), carcass inspection (to detect the presence of fecal material), lacerations at evisceration [39,58] or carcass chilling [99,100]. Additionally, strategies such as hot water showers [18] and showers with antibacterial compounds (e.g., organic acids or disinfectants like peroxides) aid in mitigating carcass contamination at the conclusion of the fabrication process [48,101].…”
