Welcome of the Anonymous secure online foreign object surveillance portal
The presence of foreign objects found in carcass tissue is a serious problem in terms of food safety and quality. Although the incidence is very low, when a foreign object is detected in a carcass, the loss of value in the carcass can be extreme. Increased amount of trim and/or condemnation of the entire carcass represents significant loss of carcass value. The risk of these incidents reaching the consumer is low but not impossible. All sectors involved in the production of beef cattle are responsible for eliminating (to the extent possible) the risk of a foreign object incident to animals entering the food chain.
