Reliable documentation of meat product safety

All meat producers must document the shelf life and food safety of their products. However, meeting the diverse and growing demands from customers, third-party auditors and food safety authorities can be a complex task – particularly when documentation must be both reliable and readily accessible.

To address these expectations, food companies need easy-to-use tools that can support internal quality systems while meeting global standards for food safety and shelf-life assessment.

Predictive models support shelf-life determination and HACCP compliance

In response to these needs, the Danish Meat Research Institute (DMRI) has developed a predictive model platform – DMRI Predict – in close collaboration with the Danish meat industry. The platform provides intuitive, user-friendly tools for assessing microbiological and sensorial spoilage as well as documenting shelf life and food safety in meat and meat products.

The model collection is based on extensive data from systematic shelf-life and challenge tests, and is continuously updated with new models to reflect current production and safety requirements. Authorities around the world now accept the use of predictive models as part of the HACCP programme in food manufacturing facilities. For instance, the American Food Safety and Inspection Services specifically reference DMRI Predict in their guidelines.

DMRI Predict is free to use and openly accessible at DMRIpredict.dk, enabling producers to evaluate product safety without needing specialised software or extensive in-house modelling expertise.
