				  inspection to be affected with any of the diseases or conditions named in this
				  Subchapter shall be disposed of according to the section pertaining to the
				  disease or condition and in compliance with the following provisions:
(1) No product shall be passed for human food
				  unless it is found to be otherwise not adulterated. Products passed for cooking
				  or refrigeration under this Subchapter shall be handled at the official
				  establishment where they are initially prepared unless they are moved to
				  another official establishment for handling or in the case of products passed
				  for refrigeration are moved for such refrigeration to a freezing facility

(2) When moved as provided in paragraph (1)
				  the products shall be shipped in containers sealed in accordance with §
											1.333(g) (relating

				  condition results in adulteration of a product, the decision as to the disposal
				  of all carcasses, organs, or other parts not specifically covered in this
				  subchapter shall be left to the officer in charge. The veterinarian in charge
				  shall exercise his judgment regarding the disposition of all carcasses or parts
				  of carcasses in a manner which will insure that only wholesome, unadulterated

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
From the standpoint of meat inspection, necrobacillosis may
					 be regarded as a local infection at the beginning, and carcasses in which the
					 lesions are localized may be passed for human food if in a good state of
					 nutrition, after those portions affected with necrotic lesions are removed and
					 condemned. However, when emaciation, cloudy swelling of the parenchymatous
					 tissue of organs or enlargement of the lymph nodes is associated with the
					 infection, it is evident that the disease has progressed beyond the condition
					 of localization to a state of toxemia, and the entire carcass shall therefore
					 be condemned as both unwholesome and noxious. Pyemia or septicemia may
					 intervene as a complication of the local necrosis, and when present the carcass
					 shall be condemned.
