Meat Species Identification (Searching for Poultry Meat, Equine Meat)

It may be questioned whether food is adulterated for various reasons such as economic, religious, regulatory and public health. Species determination is required for foods of animal origin within the scope of national or international regulations, legislation and legal requirements.

Poultry meat or equine meat such as horse and pig can be added to various foods, especially animal products such as salami, soudjouk and sausage, for adulteration purposes. Meat Type Identification is carried out to determine this. Foods must provide the information on the label. A different species should never be detected in a product claimed to be produced with red meat.

Meat type determination is carried out routinely using ELISA and PCR methods. To protect consumer rights, it is important to verify label information to address consumer concerns.
