Where an inspector or official veterinary surgeon is satisfied that a carcase or offal is affected with caseous lymphadenitis or any other suppurative condition and that the said condition is not generalised nor associated with emaciation, he shall condemn the following parts of the carcase and offal as unfit for human consumption—

(a)

any organ and its associated lymph node, when the aforesaid conditions exist on the surface or in the substance of that organ or lymph node; and

(b)

in any case to which sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph does not apply, the lesion and such of the surrounding parts as he may think proper having regard to the age and degree of activity of the lesion;

and for the purposes of sub-paragraph, an old lesion which is firmly encapsulated may be regarded as inactive.
