Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Temperatures and procedures that are necessary for cooling
					 and freezing of rabbits in accordance with sound commercial practice shall be
					 maintained in the coolers and freezers, and chilling temperatures and
					 procedures shall also be in accordance with sound commercial practice.
(1) Cooling. Immediately after evisceration
				  and washing of the carcass, it shall be placed in a cooling tank containing
				  running cold tap water to remove the animal heat from the carcass. Carcasses
				  shall not be allowed to remain in the cooling tank for longer than 1 hour. The
				  internal temperature of the carcass shall be brought down to a temperature of
				  40 degrees F. within 4 hours.
(2)
				  Freezing.
(A) When ready-to-cook rabbits are
				  packaged in bulk or shipping containers, the carcasses should be individually
				  wrapped or packaged in water-vapor resistant paper to assure adequate
				  overlapping of the lining to completely surround the carcasses and to permit
				  unsealed closure or sealing in a manner that water-vapor loss from the product
				  is considerably retarded or prevented. The rabbit carcasses should receive an
				  initial rapid freezing under the packaging, temperature, air circulation, and
				  stacking conditions that will result in freezing the carcasses solid in less
				  than 48 hours.
(B) Frozen
				  ready-to-cook rabbits shall be held under conditions that will maintain the
				  product in a solidly frozen state with temperature maintained as constant as
				  possible.
