Paragraph 6

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Where the inspector 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 regard the following parts of the carcase and offal as unfit for human consumption—

(a)

any organ and its associated lymphatic gland, when the aforesaid condition exists on the surface or in the substance of that organ or gland;

(b)

in any case to which sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph does not apply, the lesion and such of the surrounding parts as the inspector may think proper having regard to the age and degree of activity of the lesion. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, an old lesion which is firmly encapsulated may be regarded as inactive.
