Four mechanisms that the south Africa Government utilizes to regulate and control contamination of food products in south Africa is the following:

  1. Brine injection of chicken meat
  2. Laboratory services in identifying DNA and pathogen profiling
  3. Food labeling
  4. Inspection services in food control  

Further Explanation

Brine injection of chicken meat

Producers of chicken are mandated to comply with the brine-injection regulation. This regulation stated that treatment levels of brine injection for full carcasses should not be more than 10%, chicken portions should not be more than 15% and the chiller temperature should not be more than 7 degrees Celsius. The producers of chicken must also perform regular testing of the brine levels being injected to ensure compliance with the required brine levels.  Also, verification inspection would be done be Departmental officials to ensure compliance.

Laboratory services in identifying DNA and pathogen profiling

The Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) identified laboratories under Agricultural Research Council (ARC) Biotechnology platform to perform DNA characterization and species identification in order to identify mixed meat. The characterization of DNA and species identification of meat is in the highlight in the food quality management system because it was noticed that mixing inferior quality of meat and superior quality of meat is getting to be a common trend globally.  

Food labeling

country of origin of the meat must be included in the label and non compliant of this regulation will result to recall.  

Inspection services in food control

The increasing mortality rate of children under age 5 that is linked to food poisoning from stale foods is the premise of this regulation. Thus, an environmental health inspector is enforced to regularly visit food premises and recall expired goods.
