Description:	Protecting consumer health is the primary objective of sanitary inspection for food of animal origin. In Brazil, the Industrial and Sanitary Inspection Regulation of Animal Products was first enacted in 1952 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA). Since that time, pig production has undergone marked expansion and modernization, accompanied by shifts in the zoonotic disease profile and the emergence of new hazards. These changes have revealed limitations in traditional inspection methods and heightened the risk of cross-contamination between carcasses and viscera. In line with a global trend, risk-based inspection systems have gained prominence as a means of maintaining the official service’s focus on public health, while assigning the food industry greater responsibility for ensuring product quality attributes. This approach, formalized for Brazilian pig slaughterhouses through Normative Instruction No. 79/2018, aims to align inspection practices with current epidemiological realities and food safety priorities. To assess the hygienic performance of this new system, the present study compares the microbiological profiles of pig carcasses inspected under the traditional and the risk-based models in a slaughterhouse located in southern Brazil.
