Hamburger Standard in Iran: Mini Review

One of the most important types of meat product is the hamburger, which is particularly popular due to the use of different percentages of meat and vegetable proteins. Hamburg, Germany, is considered the birthplace of the hamburger. In the 19th century, the plan to make hamburgers was formed in this city. For the  rst time, they ground beef and mixed it with vegetables, onions, salt and pepper and served it in molds without bread, thus obtaining the Hamburger Steak. The standards for the production and testing of hamburger in Iran include standards 2304 (Raw frozen hamburger Specications and test methods) and 6103 (Detection of unauthorized animal tissue by histological method). These standards address the formulation of hamburger, 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.
