Accordingly, if condemned products are so crushed or hashed, conveying systems, rendering tanks, and other equipment used in the further handling of crushed or hashed material need not be locked or sealed during the tanking operations. If the rendering tanks or other equipment contain condemned material not so crushed or hashed, the equipment shall be sealed as prescribed in section (1)(a) of this rule.

When such product is to be denatured, it shall be freely slashed before the denaturing agent is applied, except that, in the case of dead meat animals that have not been dressed, the denaturant may be applied by injection. The denaturant must be deposited in all portions of the carcass or product to the extent necessary to preclude its use for food purposes. (2) All carcasses and parts condemned on account of anthrax, as identified in OAR 603-029-0440(2), at state-inspected establishments which are not equipped with tanking facilities shall be disposed of by: (a) complete incineration, or (b) by thorough denaturing with crude carbolic acid, or cresylic disinfectant, and then disposed of in accordance with the requirements of the particular State or municipal authorities, who shall be notified immediately by the Supervisor.
