Where the inspector is satisfied that a carcase or offal is affected with tuberculosis other than generalised tuberculosis or tuberculosis with emaciation, he shall regard the following parts of the carcase and offal as unfit for human consumption—

(a)

any part of the carcase infected with localised tuberculosis and any other part contiguous thereto;

(b)

the head including the tongue, when tuberculosis exists in any lymphatic gland associated with the head or tongue:

Provided that, where in a particular gland or glands the lesion is small and inactive and the gland is not enlarged, the inspector may at his discretion regard the head or tongue, or both, as fit for human consumption after the removal of the affected gland or glands and the surrounding tissue;

(c)

any organ or viscera when tuberculosis exists in the substance, or on the surface thereof, or in any lymphatic gland associated therewith.

(2)

The inspector shall regard any part of a carcase and any offal or blood contaminated with tuberculous material as unfit for human consumption.
