CODE OF GOOD IRRADIATION PRACTICE – PART 7: FISH, SHRIMPS AND FROG LEGS FOR THE CONTROL OF MICROFLORA (FIRST REVISION)
This Malaysian Standard describes a code of good irradiation practice for refrigerated fresh or frozen; fish, shrimps or prawns1 and frozen frog legs. This standard excludes requirements for other animal foods of marine or freshwater origin. The microbial contamination of concern in this standard is mainly bacterial. As referred to in this standard, irradiation is not used to treat contamination with other organisms, such as moulds, yeasts and insects. However, when irradiating fresh fish for bacterial reduction, any parasites present are rendered non-infective.
