AB  - This work aimed to examine the influence of the storage period on the content of toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) in five types of canned meat products regularly used in the Serbian Armed Forces. Cans of beef goulash (BG), pork ragout (PR), spam (SP), liver pate (LP), and meatballs in tomato sauce (MB), produced according to military standards and stored under regular conditions, were analyzed. Meat products were packed in tin cans made according to special requirements in terms of tin and varnish application and stored for up to 6 years. The content of toxic elements varied depending on the analyzed product. The highest average content of arsenic was in BG (10.00 μg/kg), cadmium in LP (35.91 μg/kg), and mercury and lead in PR (15.04 and 8.00 μg/kg, respectively). The average concentrations of As, Cd, Hg, and Pb in all types of canned meat products were significantly lower than the maximum permitted levels in food currently in force by local and EU legislation. The storage period did not significantly affect the level of toxic elements, although higher concentrations were found in samples stored for more than 2 years. Examination of raw materials, spices, and additives showed that the highest Cd and Pb concentrations, which can affect the total level of these elements in meat products, were found in red ground pepper (Cd above 150 μg/kg) and dish supplement (Pb of 250 μg/kg). The assessment of the weekly intake of toxic elements through canned meat showed that it is significantly lower than the values that affect adversely to human health, as determined by the FAO/WHO and EFSA. However, as there is a constant possibility of contamination of raw materials and food additives, primarily due to environmental pollution, it is recommended to monitor the content of heavy metals in food permanently and assess their risk to human health.

AB  - The production of traditional meat products has a considerable potential in the Republic of Serbia, particularly in small and micro (household) establishments. Among a large number of traditional meat products, dry fermented sausages and dried meat products are the most important and commonly appreciated by consumers. There is, however, a need for a better standardization of the production in this meat sector, and also implementation of necessary food hygiene rules and HACCP principles according to hygiene regulations. There are provisions in the Food Safety Law, stating the principles of flexibility, which would allow for traditional meat producers and their associations to apply for derogations in food hygiene regulations. This would enable traditional small and micro food business operators to better use their resources, relax administrative burden and use traditional production methods in the most appropriate manner, always respecting hygiene and safety principals. This review paper analyses the current status of traditional meat production in small and micro establishments in Serbia, emphasizing a need for further improvements in food safety management and standardization.

AB  - Ham represents an appropriate medium for development of many arthropods species. In this paper, the basic biological properties, life cycle of cheese skipper (Piophila casei), grain mite (A. siro), and larder beetle (Dermestes lardarius) and their influence on hygienic quality of ham, during curing and storage, are described. Ham is not the only place where these pests can lay their eggs, what increases the possibility of ham infestation due to the presence of other foodstuffs in the storehouse. Furthermore, they can be mechanical vectors of microorganisms. Organoleptic properties of foodstuffs are change by the presence and activities of larvae, which causes abhorrence of consumers and, in some cases, health problems, too. The most important measure in ham pests control is sanitation. That includes thorough cleaning of the storehouse, removing all debris of food, sealing cracks and crevices and placing the protective nets. Regular control of stored food is necessary as well as maintaining of proper storage conditions. Infested food should be removed. Chemical treatment .should be made only when the storage area is empty, but its effect is diminished by the development of pest's resistance. Taking that in consideration, it can be said that there is no ideal preparation for ham pests control, but it requires the combination of more measures.
AB  - Suva šunka predstavlja pogodnu sredinu za opstanak i razvoj više vrsta artropoda. U ovom radu prikazane su osnovne biološke karakteristike i razvojni ciklusi muve sirare (Piophila casei), grinje brašna (Acanis siro) i slaninara (Dermesies lardarius), koji mogu da se razvijaju na suvim šunkama za vreme sušenja i skladištenja. Pošlo suva šunka nije jedini supstral u kome ovi insekti polažu jaja, to povećava mogućnost njene infestacije preko drugih namirnica prisutnih u skladištu. Osim toga, ovi insekti imaju ulogu mehaničkog prenosioca mikroorganizama. Prisustvom i aktivnošću larvi insekata menjaju se senzorne osobine proizvoda, što izaziva odbojnost i gađenje kod potrošača, a u nekim slučajevima može da izazove i zdravstvene probleme. Kod suzbijanja parazita suve šunke najvažnija mera je sanitacija. To podrazumeva temeljno čišćenje skladišta, uklanjanje svih ostataka hrane, zatvaranje pukotina i šupljina i postavljanje zaštitnih mreža. Neophodna je redovna kontrola uskladištenih namirnica i održavanje potrebnih ambijentalnih uslova pri njihovom čuvanju. Infestirane namirnice treba da budu uklonjene. Primena hemijskih sredstava treba da se vrši samo u praznom skladištu, ali razvoj rezistencije parazita umanjuje efekat dezinsekcije. Na osnovu toga može se reći da ne postoji idealno sredstvo za uništavanje ovih štetočina, već je u kontroli neophodna kombinacija vise mera.
