Animal waste and animal by-products not intended for human consumption and not containing striated muscle may leave the premises before the results of the Trichinella examination are available.\nHowever, the competent authority may require a Trichinella examination or prior treatment of animal by-products to be carried out before permitting them to leave the premises.\n3. Where a procedure is in place in the slaughterhouse to ensure that no part of carcases examined leaves the premises until the result of the Trichinella examination is found to be negative and the procedure is formally approved by the competent authority or where the derogation provided for in Article 3(5) applies, the health mark provided for in Article 18(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 may be applied before the results of the Trichinella examination are available.",
