Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection › ATCP 55-89 - Food, Lodging, and Recreation Safety › Chapter ATCP 55 - Meat And Poultry Products › Section ATCP 55.01 - Scope

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL. Except as provided in sub. (2),
				this chapter applies to persons who slaughter livestock, poultry, captive game
				animals, captive game birds, or other food animals for human consumption, who
				submit livestock, poultry, captive game animals, captive game birds, or other
				food animals for slaughter for human consumption, or who process, store,
				transport, sell, or distribute meat or poultry products or edible food made
				from captive game animals, captive game birds, or other food animals for human
				consumption. This chapter applies to slaughter and other processing
				establishments, mobile processors, food warehouses and locker plants, meat
				distributors and transporters, meat brokers, food retailers, and central
				restaurant commissaries that engage in activities covered by this
				chapter.
(2) EXEMPTIONS. This
				chapter does not apply to any of the following:
(a) A restaurant, vending machine commissary,
				or catering establishment licensed and inspected by the department or its
				agent, provided that all the following apply:
1. The establishment processes no meat or
				poultry products other than meat or poultry products previously subjected to
				state or federal inspection.
2. The
				establishment sells meat or poultry products only as part of a meal.
3. Any processing of meat or poultry products
				is confined to the premises where the meat or poultry product is served as part

				catered service or vending machine service to individual consumers.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection › ATCP 55-89 - Food, Lodging, and Recreation Safety › Chapter ATCP 55 - Meat And Poultry Products › Section ATCP 55.04 - Slaughter and other processing inspection; general

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) SLAUGHTER
				INSPECTION REQUIRED.
(a) Except as provided
				in pars. (b) to (d), no person may sell any meat from any food animal for human
				consumption unless the department or the United States department of
				agriculture has conducted a slaughter inspection of that food animal. The
				slaughter inspection shall include an ante mortem inspection of the live food
				animal, and a post mortem inspection of the food animal carcass.
Note:
Slaughter inspection is not required for
				  custom slaughtered animals, because there is no sale of meat. Except as allowed
				  under the cooperative interstate shipment program, federal law prohibits the
				  interstate sale of meat from animals slaughtered under state (rather than
				  federal) inspection. But this federal prohibition does not apply to meat from
				  farm-raised deer, captive game animals, captive game birds, bison, alpacas,
				  llamas, or rabbits.
(b)
				Paragraph (a) does not apply to a person selling meat from a captive game
				animal or captive game bird if neither the department nor the United States
				department of agriculture has established ante mortem or post mortem inspection
				procedures for that type of captive game animal or captive game bird.
Note:
The exemption under par. (b) is very
				  limited, because the department and USDA
have established
inspection standards for most captive game animals and game birds.
(c) Paragraph (a) does not apply
				to a person selling meat from not more than 1,000 poultry annually, provided
				that all the following apply:
1. The person
				produces all of those poultry on his or her premises.
2. The person slaughters, otherwise
				processes, and sells the poultry at the premises where they are produced or
				directly to consumers contracting with the person's community supported
				agriculture business, or has them slaughtered and otherwise processed at a
				licensed meat establishment.
3. The
				person clearly and conspicuously labels each package or container of poultry
				meat with the processor's name and address and the words "NOT INSPECTED."
Note:
See s.
				  97.42(11),
				  Stats.
(d)
				Paragraph (a) does not apply to a person selling meat from rabbits, provided
				that all the following apply:
1. The person
				only slaughters and otherwise processes rabbits produced on that person's
				premises.
2. The person slaughters
				and otherwise processes not more than 3,000 rabbits annually.
3. The person keeps a record of the number of
				rabbits slaughtered, retains that record for at least 3 years, and makes the
				record available for inspection and copying by the department upon
				request.
4. The person slaughtering
				and otherwise processing rabbits complies with the requirements of s.
				ATCP
				55.07(4).
5. The person holds an establishment license
				under s.
				ATCP
				55.03.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL. Ante mortem inspections shall
				comply with applicable standards under s.
				ATCP
				55.07.
(2)
				SUSPECT ANIMALS. If a department inspector performing an ante mortem inspection
				suspects that a food animal is affected by a disease or condition that may
				cause all or part of the animal's carcass to be condemned after post mortem
				inspection, the inspector shall cause the animal to be held for ante mortem
				inspection by a department veterinarian. The animal shall be segregated from
				other food animals, and shall be placed in a holding area marked with a "WIS.
				SUSPECT" tag or placard until a department veterinarian performs an ante mortem
				inspection.
(3) ANIMALS THAT CANNOT
				STAND OR WALK. If the department performs an ante mortem inspection on an
				animal that cannot stand or walk, a department veterinarian shall perform the
				inspection. The department veterinarian may order the animal held for up to 24
				hours for further observation. If the animal has been treated with drugs for
				which the prescribed withdrawal time has not elapsed, the department
				veterinarian shall condemn the animal or order the animal held until the
				withdrawal time elapses.
(4)
				CONDEMNED ANIMALS. Except as provided in sub. (5), if a department veterinarian
				performing an ante mortem inspection finds that a food animal is affected by a
				disease or condition that would cause the animal's carcass to be condemned in
				its entirety after post mortem inspection, the veterinarian shall condemn the
				animal. The condemned animal shall be segregated from other live food animals.
				The veterinarian shall supervise the humane slaughter and disposal of the
				animal.
(5) TREATABLE ANIMALS. If a
				department veterinarian performing an ante mortem inspection finds that a food
				animal is affected by a treatable disease or condition, the veterinarian may
				order the animal withheld from slaughter pending specified treatment. A food
				animal held for treatment may not be slaughtered for human consumption until a
				department veterinarian performs another ante mortem inspection after the
				animal is treated. A diseased animal may not be held for treatment in a manner
				that threatens the health of other animals.
(6) FIELD ANTE MORTEM INSPECTION. An
				inspector or veterinarian conducting a field ante mortem inspection under s.
				ATCP
				55.04(3) shall observe the live
				animal in the field, in motion and at rest. The inspector or veterinarian may
				specify other procedures, as necessary, to ensure a safe and effective field
				ante mortem examination.
