Division 5.3

The outside of the pack is wiped to remove superficial ice and water. Each carcase is weighed and removed from any wrapping material. After cutting up of the carcase into smaller pieces, any wrapping material around the edible offal is removed. The total weight of the carcase, including the edible offal and ice adhering to the carcase, is determined to the nearest gram after deduction of the weight of any wrapping material removed, to give ‘P₁’.

In the case of a composite sample analysis, the total weight of the seven carcases, prepared in accordance with point 5.3(a), is determined to give ‘P₇’.
