Salmonella testing of raw ground meat products
This is in one of the appendices:
Annexe 12 : Guide technique et procedures pour isoler et identifier les salmonelles sur les produits hachés crus
*Préparation avant échantillonage
- Se reporter à l’annexe 4 (recherche E. coli dans les abattoirs de bovines) sans tenir compte de l’utilisation d’un gabarit.
- On peut utiliser un **anneau évidé**, sterile pouvant contenir 25 g.
There is no mention of this anneau in the previous 45 pages of the document and "anneau évidé" only has 10 hits on Google...
TIA.

hollow ring
My very answer has a hollow ring to it since I have no substantiation whatsoever, and particularly since I would have thought a ring was, by definition, hollow, so pleonasm.
Maybe it's meant to refer to a "band" type ring, like a flat bracelet, as opposed to a "round" ring, like a rubber o-ring. I can just seem them taking a sample of ground beef using such a calibrated ring (25 g), in the same way as one cuts out biscuits with "biscuit ring" or "cookie cutter". If they really wanted to have fun they could make ground-beef gingerbread-man shapes!
That would have the Salmonella running, running, as fast as they can, maybe.
