Abstract

Meat products are prepared and produced according to the national standardsof each country. Therefore, in this study, we will review Iran's national standards for Sausage and Salami. Sausage production was  rst carried out in Iran around 1300 AH (Approximately 1921) by Polish immigrants, which was later continued by Armenians. The standards for the production and testing of sausages in Iran include standards 2303 (Sausage-speci cations and test method) and 6103 (Detection of unauthorized animal tissue by histological method). These standards address the formulation of sausages, their classi cation, chemical properties, microbial properties, histological properties, and packaging. The National Standards Organization of Iran is the one that formulates the laws and regulations related to standards and implements and supervises them. The Standards Organization of Iran has a governmental structure as a subsidiary of the presidential institution. Almost all of the country's gross domestic products, especially in the  eld of food, have the standard mark engraved next to the Food and Drug Administration's health apple.
