Customers are very concerned about high-quality products whose provenance is healthy. The identification of meat authenticity is a subject of growing concern for a variety of reasons, including religious, economic, legal, and public health. Between March and April of 2023, 150 distinct marketable beef product samples from various retailers in El-Fayoum, Egypt, were gathered. There were 30 samples of each of the following: luncheon, kofta, sausage, burger, and minced meat. Every sample underwent a histological investigation as well as subjected to a standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis to identify meat types that had not been stated by Egyptian regulations. According to the obtained data, the meat products under scrutiny contained a variety of unauthorized tissues which do not match Egyptian regulations. Furthermore, the PCR results indicated that the chicken, camels, donkeys, and pigs derivatives were detected in 60%, 30%, 16%, and 8% of examined samples, respectively. In conclusion, besides displaying a variety of illegal tissues, the majority of the meat items under examination were tainted with flesh from many species. As a result, it is crucial to regularly inspect these products before they are put on the market to ensure that they comply with the law and don't mislead customers Furthermore, it is advisable for authorities to implement rigorous oversight of food manufacturing facilities to ensure the production of safe and wholesome meat.
消费者非常关注来源健康的高质量产品。出于各种原因，包括宗教、经济、法律和公共卫生等原因，肉类真实性的鉴定越来越受到关注。2023 年 3 月至 4 月期间，从埃及法尤姆省的不同零售商处收集了 150 个不同的可销售牛肉产品样本。每种样本有 30 个，分别为午餐肉、肉丸、香肠、汉堡和肉末。每个样本都经过组织学检查，并进行标准聚合酶链反应（PCR）分析，以确定未按埃及法规规定的肉类类型。根据获得的数据，受审查的肉类产品含有各种未经授权的组织，不符合埃及法规。此外，PCR 结果表明，在检查的样本中，分别有 60%、30%、16%和 8%的样本检测到了鸡肉、骆驼、驴和猪肉衍生物。总之，除了显示出多种非法组织外，大多数受检查的肉类产品都受到了来自许多物种的肉的污染。因此，在这些产品投放市场之前，定期检查这些产品以确保它们符合法律规定并避免误导消费者至关重要。此外，当局应严格监督食品制造设施，以确保生产安全和健康的肉类。
