Regulation 7 Presentation of carcasses for classification
The operator of a regulated slaughterhouse must ensure that each carcass in that slaughterhouse is presented for classification by hanging it and preparing it according to either of the carcass specifications set out in paragraph (2) or (3).
The “reference specification” is presentation of the carcass following removal of—
the head, severed at the atlanto-occipital joint,
the feet, severed at the carpometacarpal or tarsometatarsal joints,
the tail, severed between the sixth and seventh caudal vertebrae,
the udder,
the genitalia,
the liver, and
the pluck.
The “UK standard specification” is presentation of the carcass following removal of all parts set out in paragraph (2)(a) to (g) and additionally removal of the kidney knobs, channel fat and diaphragm.
