Abstract Limit standards for phosphate content in meat and meat products used in and outside of China were surveyed
systematically. Phosphate content in 1015 samples from 8 categories of meat products was determined. China' maximum
use limit of phosphates was higher than the CAC standard, and no maximum residue limit was available in China. Phosphate
content in 1015 samples of meat products was in the range of 0.62—16.2 g/kg with a median of 6.09 g/kg and an average
of 6.43 g/kg. Moreover, significant differences existed among different categories of meat products (P ＜0.05). However, no
significant difference was observed among different categories of meat by-products (P ＞0.05). Maximum residue limits of
phosphates depended on the category of meat products.
