Modernisation of Meat Inspection

Welcome to the fourth workshop about modernisation of meat inspection, organized in relation to the SafePork Conference. The focus of this year’s workshop is two-fold. First, experience with sensoring technologies such as VISION at the abattoir will be shared. This consists of pilot projects and tools in place targeted meat inspection as well as examples of tools used outside post-mortem inspection. Secondly, other achievements and examples of steps towards further modernisation of meat inspection are presented from around the world, including views on what constitutes current challenges and next steps.
