This addendum concerns the notification of the draft Egyptian Standard ES 4178 "Poultry meat -
mechanically separated"  (11 pages, in Arabic).  
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 515/2005 (10 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly 
notified in G/ TBT/N/EGY/2 dated 14 December 2005 mandated among others the earlier version of 
this Standard.  
Worth mentioning is that this draft standard complies with:  
-       regulation (EC) no 853/2004 of the European parliament and of the council "hygiene rules for 
food of animal origin".  
-       commission regulation (EC) no 2073/2020 "microbiological criteria for foodstuffs"  
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through 
the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
