Given the way chorizo is processed, the answer to a question about its being safe and clean would either be in the negative or a maybe.The change is due to the efforts of the National Meat Inspection Service and the Cebu City Office of Veterinarian, who in 2016, informed meat vendors selling chorizo that they would strictly implement food safety standards.
The standards include Current Good Manufacturing Practices and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures . To upgrade skills and further develop knowledge on the trade, Gok-ong said they sent some staff to Manila to attend trainings on required standards for meat processing.This day marked the beginning of the operations of a meat processing plant that complied with NMIS requirements.
“We can assure the public that our products are safe, sanitary, delicious and affordable,” Gok-ong says.Gok-ong and four others, including the plant’s food technician, operator and quality control personnel of the plant, first underwent a three-day-training on the cGMP.“We are already cGMP- and SSOP-compliant. Hopefully, this year we will undergo Hazard Analysis for Critical Control Points , the next higher training for operation of a meat processing plant,” he tells CDN Digital.
