Sec. 314.10  Livers condemned because of parasitic infestation and for other causes; conditions for disposal for purposes other than human food.

    (a) Livers condemned on account of hydatid cysts shall be disposed 
of by tanking pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 314.1 of this 
subchapter if condemned at official establishments having facilities for 
tanking; otherwise they shall be destroyed pursuant to the provisions of 
Sec. 314.3 of this subchapter.
    (b) Livers condemned because of parasites other than hydatid cysts; 
and livers condemned because of telangiectasis, angioma, ``sawdust'' 
condition, cirrhosis, carotenosis, or other nonmalignant change, benign 
abscesses, or contamination, when these conditions are not associated 
with infectious diseases in the carcasses, may be shipped from an 
official establishment only for purposes other than human food, and only 
if all tissue affected with abscesses is removed and destroyed within 
the establishment, and all livers are processed and denatured, with any 
agent prescribed in Sec. 325.13(a)(1) or (2) or (5), and in accordance 
with Sec. 325.13(a)(6) of this subchapter. This provision for movement 
from an official establishment is made solely under the Federal Meat

applicable requirements under any other law regarding the movement of 
such articles, for purposes other than use as human food.
    (c) Livers condemned because of conditions described in paragraph 
(b) of this section shall be in containers plainly marked ``inedible''.
