§ 1222.4. Temperatures and Procedures for Cooling and Freezing Rabbits.
(1) When ready-to-cook domestic rabbits are packaged in bulk or shipping containers, the carcasses shall be individually wrapped or packaged in water-vapor resistant cartons, or the containers shall be lined with heavy water-vapor resistant paper so as to assure adequate overlapping of the lining to completely surround the carcasses and to permit unsealed closure or sealing in such a manner that water-vapor loss from the product is considerably retarded or prevented. The rabbit carcasses shall receive an initial rapid freezing under such packaging, temperature, air circulation, and stacking conditions that will result in freezing the carcasses solid in 48 hours.
(d) Immediately after packing, all ready-to-cook domestic rabbits, other than those that are shipped from the plant (the body temperature of which shall be below 36 °F.), shall be either moved into the freezer or held for a period not exceeding 72 hours in the cooler at a temperature of not above 36 °F.
