Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005102063
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for treating a product suitable for human consumption, in particular a meat product, such as for example slaughtered poultry or parts thereof, in which method: - a large number of products are successively supplied, optionally in groups, to an inspection station; and - each product is subjected to a visual inspection in the inspection station, in such a manner that, for example, a visually detectable defect on the respective product is detected. On the basis of the visual inspection, a decision is made as to whether the respective product should be subjected to a specific additive-addition treatment. The products to be subjected to an additive-addition treatment are successively supplied to an additive-addition station, where the products are successively subjected to an additive-addition treatment and an additive is added to at least one part of the outside of each product or the inside of each product. If desired, a visual check of the additive coating is carried out in a checking station after the additive has been applied. Preferably, the checking station is designed to carry out various visual checks, the visual check of a specific product being adapted to the previous visual inspection of the respective product prior to the application of the additive.
