Sec. 381.80  General; biological residues.



    (a) The carcasses or parts of carcasses of all poultry inspected at 

an official establishment and found at the time of post mortem 

inspection, or at any subsequent inspection, to be affected with any of 

the diseases or conditions named in other sections in this subpart, 

shall be disposed of in accordance with the section pertaining to the

rules for each specific disease or conditions and to designate at just 

what stage a disease process results in an adulterated article, the 

decision as to the disposal of all carcasses, organs or other parts not 

specifically covered by the regulations, or by instructions of the 

Administrator issued pursuant thereto, shall be left to the inspector in 

charge, and if the inspector in charge is in doubt concerning the 

disposition to be made, specimens from such carcasses shall be forwarded 

to the Inspection Service laboratory for diagnosis.

    (b) All carcasses, organs, or other parts of carcasses of poultry 

shall be condemned if it is determined on the basis of a sound 

statistical sample that they are adulterated because of the presence of 

any biological residues.
