Meat safety is global issue in which essential requirement for detection of food adulteration of any foods we consume. Although traditional fraud detection methods are accurate and reliable, yet they are time unbearable. Meat Flow Through TM technique is given a recent solution of rapid and exactly detection of meat Halal. Therefore, A total of 90 frozen kofta, oriental sausage and Hawash samples (30 of each) from different grades were randomly collected from different markets in Damietta city, Egypt for evaluation their adulteration with pork. The results revealed that the kits did not detect any adulteration of all kofta and oriental sausage samples with pig species. On the other hand, one Hawash sample was adulterated with pig species. The meat Flow Through™ kits are user-friendly and robust on-site tests that effectively identify low levels (<1%) of meat species adulteration in raw meat products within a timeframe of under 15 minutes. Their implementation can significantly reduce time and costs for factory laboratories while providing assurance regarding the integrity of raw materials and finished products. In conclusion, all precautions of proper sanitation during manufacture, handling and storage of meat products should be adopted to control adulteration and to obtain a maximum limit of safety to consumers.
