PART 314_HANDLING AND DISPOSAL OF CONDEMNED OR OTHER INEDIBLE PRODUCTS

Sec. 314.3  Disposition of condemned products at official establishments 

having no tanking facilities.



    (a) Carcasses, parts of carcasses, and other products condemned at 

an official establishment which has no facilities for tanking shall, 

except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section or elsewhere in this 

part, be destroyed in the presence of an inspector by incineration, or 

denatured with crude carbolic acid, or cresylic disinfectant, or a 

formula consisting of one part FD&C No. 3 green coloring, 40 parts 

water, 40 parts liquid detergent, and 40 parts oil of citronella or any 

other proprietary material approved by the Administrator in specific 

cases. When such product is to be denatured, it shall be freely slashed 

before the denaturing agent is applied, except that, in the case of dead 

animals that have not been dressed, the denaturant may be applied by 

injection. The denaturant must be deposited in all portions of the 

carcass or product to the extent necessary to preclude its use for food 

purposes.

    (b) All carcasses and parts condemned on account of anthrax, as 

identified in Sec. 310.9(b) of this subchapter, at official 

establishments which are not equipped with tanking facilities shall be 

disposed of by (1) complete incineration, or (2) by thorough denaturing 

with crude carbolic acid, or cresylic disinfectant, and then disposed of 

in accordance with the requirements of the particular State or municipal 

authorities, who shall be notified immediately by the area supervisor.
