OIE PVS Evaluation Critical Competency on Food Safety CC introduced in the 2 nd Edition of the Tool (2007) Split into 2 CC in the 5 th Edition (2010): o ante and post-mortem inspection at abattoirs o Inspection of collection, processing and distribution of animal products 3rd CC in the 6 th Edition (2013): o Regulation, authorisation and inspection of establishments 6
Critical Competency II-8 A II-8 Food safety A. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of establishments for production, processing and distribution of food of animal origin The authority and capability of the VS to establish and enforce sanitary standards for establishments that produce, process and distribute food of animal origin Levels of advancement 1. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of relevant establishments are generally not undertaken in conformity with international standards 2. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of relevant establishments are undertaken in conformity with international standards in some of the major or selected premises (e.g. only at export premises) 3. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of relevant establishments are undertaken in conformity with international standards in all premises supplying throughout the national market 4. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of relevant establishments (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards for premises supplying the national and local markets 5. Regulation, authorisation and inspection of relevant establishments (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards at all premises (including on-farm establishments) 7
Critical Competency II-8 B II-8 Food safety B. Ante and post mortem inspection at abattoirs and associated premises (e.g. meat boning/cutting establishments and rendering plants) The authority and capability of the VS to implement and manage the inspection of animals destined for slaughter at abattoirs and associated premises, including for assuring meat hygiene and for the collection of information relevant to livestock diseases and zoonoses Levels of advancement 1. Ante- and post mortem inspection and collection of disease information (and coordination, as required) are generally not undertaken in conformity with international standards 2. Ante- and post mortem inspection and collection of disease information (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards only at export premises 3. Ante- and post mortem inspection and collection of disease information (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards for export premises and for major abattoirs producing meat for distribution throughout the national market 4. Ante- and post mortem inspection and collection of disease information (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards for export premises and for all abattoirs producing meat for distribution in the national and local markets 5. Ante- and post mortem inspection and collection of disease information (and coordination, as required) are undertaken in conformity with international standards at all premises (including family and on farm slaughtering) and are subject to periodic audit of effectiveness 8
Critical Competency II-8 C II-8 Food safety C. Inspection of collection, processing and distribution of products of animal origin The authority and capability of the VS to implement, manage and coordinate food safety measures on collection, processing and distribution of products of animals, including programmes for the prevention of specific food-borne zoonoses and general food safety programmes Levels of advancement 1. Implementation, management and coordination (as appropriate) are generally not undertaken in conformity with international standards 2. Implementation, management and coordination (as appropriate) are generally undertaken in conformity with international standards only for export purposes 3. Implementation, management and coordination (as appropriate) are generally undertaken in conformity with international standards only for export purposes and for products that are distributed throughout the national market 4. Implementation, management and coordination (as appropriate) are generally undertaken in conformity with international standards for export purposes and for products that are distributed throughout the national and local markets 5. Implementation, management and coordination (as appropriate) are undertaken in full conformity with international standards for products at all levels of distribution (including on-farm establishments) 9
OIE PVS Evaluation Other CC relevant to Food Safety Fundamental Component 1 - Human, physical and financial resources CC I.6: Coordination capability of the Veterinary Services CC I.6.A: Internal coordination (chain of command) CC I.6.B: External coordination (other relevant authorities) Fundamental Component 2 - Technical authority and capability CC II.1: Veterinary laboratory diagnosis CC II.3: Risk analysis CC II.10: Residue testing Fundamental Component 3 - Interaction with stakeholders CC III.4: Accreditation / authorisation / delegation Fundamental Component 4 - Access to markets CC IV.1: Preparation of legislation and regulations CC IV.2: Implementation of legislation and regulations and compliance thereof 10
PVS Pathway in South-East Asia Main Findings General Findings on Veterinary Services Insufficient staffing and funding Lack of direct chain of command from national to local level Legislation and regulations often inadequate and incomplete (especially on Veterinary Public Health and food safety) Poor implementation and lack of documented inspection programmes Formal risk analysis rarely conducted by the Veterinary Services (lack of data and qualified resources) Low participation in the formulation of international standards and the negotiation of sanitary agreements 11
PVS Pathway in South-East Asia Main Findings Specific Findings on Food Safety Overall weaknesses in the management of food safety by the Veterinary Services in the sub-region, except in the export sectors Incomplete legislation on meat inspection and hygiene Inadequate inspection procedures of meat and meat products, no stamping of inspected meat for local market Deficiencies in the regulation of the usage of veterinary drugs and biologicals and residue testing Limited traceability of animal products Poor coordination with public health authorities, local authorities and private sector 12
PVS Pathway in South-East Asia Main Recommendations General Recommendations Promotion of Veterinary Services to the national authorities and international donors (using OIE PVS Gap Analysis report) strengthening of VS as a public investment priority; implementing cost recovery in commercial and export sectors Revision of the veterinary legislation Delegation of official tasks to private sector (legislative framework, established procedures with clear definition of the tasks and official supervision) Capacity building in risk assessment Participation in the formulation of international standards (coordination between ASEAN member countries to develop common positions on draft OIE animal health standards) 13
PVS Pathway in South-East Asia Main Recommendations Specific Recommendations on Food Safety Capacity building in Veterinary Public Health to assure food hygiene and safety in all premises and for animal products at all levels of distribution including local markets: o o o support programmes for the revision of food safety legislation training of inspectors development of inspection programmes for slaughterhouses (including collection of disease information) and for processing and distribution establishments and facilities Development of traceability systems for animal products, food safety emergency plans and residue monitoring programmes Improvement of the collaboration with public health authorities and other stakeholders, with formal consultation mechanism 14
