					 and which will maximize the preservation of the quality and conditions of the
					 poultry.
(b) In general, all
					 poultry that is prepared in the official plant or establishment shall be cooled
					 immediately after processing. If such poultry is to be shipped from the plant
					 in packaged form, the poultry shall be cooled to and maintained at a
					 temperature of 40 degrees F. or less prior to shipment from the plant, except
					 that if it is to be held in excess of 24 hours it shall be held at 36 degrees
					 F., and except that with respect to poultry which is to be frozen immediately,
					 the Department may approve, upon written request, the shipment of packaged
					 poultry from the plant prior to cooling to 40 degrees F., or less if such
					 poultry is handled in accordance with subsections (b)(1) and (2) of this
					 section.
(1) Poultry intended for freezing
					 without pre-chilling shall, within two hours from the time of slaughter, be
					 placed in a plate freezer or a freezer with a functioning circulating air
					 system where a temperature of -20 degrees F., or lower is maintained. The
					 poultry shall be stacked in a manner that will permit adequate circulation of
					 air around the individual containers, and such poultry shall remain therein
					 until completely frozen.
(2) The
					 plant and freezer shall be so located and the necessary arrangements made so
					 that the inspector will have access to the freezing room and adequate
					 opportunity to determine compliance with the time and temperatures specified in
					 subsection (b)(1) of this section.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Cooling. Immediately after evisceration and washing of rabbit carcasses, the
					 carcasses shall be placed in a cooling tank containing running cold tap water
					 to remove animal heat from the carcasses. Rabbit carcasses shall not be
					 immersed in water longer than 2 " hours.
(b) Air Chilling. Immediately after the
					 initial water chilling, the carcasses shall be placed in cooling racks and
					 thereupon placed in a refrigerated cooler with moderate air movements and a
					 temperature which will reduce the internal temperature of the carcasses to 40
					 °F or less within 24 hours.
(c)
					 Freezing.
(1) When ready-to-cook domestic
					 rabbits are packaged in bulk or shipping containers, the carcasses shall be
					 individually wrapped or packaged in water-vapor resistant cartons, or the
					 containers shall be lined with heavy water-vapor resistant paper so as to
					 assure adequate overlapping of the lining to completely surround the carcasses
					 and to permit unsealed closure or sealing in such a manner that water-vapor
					 loss from the product is considerably retarded or prevented. The rabbit
					 carcasses shall receive an initial rapid freezing under such packaging,
					 temperature, air circulation, and stacking conditions that will result in
					 freezing the carcasses solid in 48 hours.
(2) Frozen ready-to-cook rabbits shall be
					 stored at 0 °F, or below, with temperatures maintained as constant as
					 possible.
