Veterinary inspectors recorded the data obtained from meat inspection classification of 36,028,821 pig carcasses at slaughterhouses in the Czech Republic during the period of 1995.2002 together with the reasons for classification. Two periods (Period I: 1995.1998 and Period II: 1999.2002) were compared and indexes were calculated as Period II/Period I. Pig carcasses were classified as edible in 97.28% of cases (97.26% during Period I and 97.31% during Period II, index 1.00), while those classified as conditionally edible were found in 2.15% of cases (2.28% during Period I and 2.02% during Period II, index 0.89), and those condemned in 0.57% of cases (0.47% during Period I and 0.67% during Period II, index 1.43). The most important reasons for condemnation were sensorial changes in meat (0.33% of cases), lesions due to non-infectious diseases (0.12%), added deleterious substances (0.05%), lesions due to respiratory infections (0.03%), boar taint (0.02%) and lesions due to other miscellaneous infections or parasitic diseases. No case of Aujeszky's disease was found. The risk of food-borne diseases originating from pig carcasses tends to be greater in the lesions due to non-infectious conditions with a long-term increasing trend. A considerable increase in the numbers of pig carcasses condemned due to added deleterious substances (index 2.50) is an alarming finding with regard to potential food safety hazards.
