§ 1251. Diseases Requiring Condemnation of Carcasses or Parts, Exceptions.
(a) Carcasses of poultry affected with any of the following diseases shall be condemned, excepting that when recovery has occurred, even though localized lesions persist, or when the lesions are of such character or extent that there is no apparent systemic disturbance, the carcass may be passed for food, after removal and condemnation of affected parts:
(e) Any organ or part of a carcass which is badly bruised or which is affected by an abscess, or a suppurating sore, shall be condemned; and when the lesions are of such character or extent as to affect the whole carcass, the whole carcass shall be condemned. Parts of a carcass that show only slight reddening from a bruise, may be passed as wholesome. Parts of carcasses that are contaminated by pus shall be condemned.
(h) Carcasses showing any degree of icterus with a parenchymatous degeneration of organs, the result of infection or intoxication, and those which, as a result of a pathological condition, show an intense yellow or greenish-yellow discoloration without evidence of infection or intoxication shall be condemned.
(i) Carcasses of poultry (rabbits) affected with mange or scab in advanced stages, or showing emaciation or extension of the inflammation to the flesh shall be condemned. When the diseased condition is slight, the carcass may be passed as wholesome after removal and condemnation of the affected portion.
(1) If the lesions are localized in such a manner and are of such character that the parasites and the lesions caused by them may be radically removed, the nonaffected portion of the carcass, or part of the carcass may be passed as wholesome after removal and condemnation of the affected portions. Where a part of a carcass shows numerous lesions caused by parasites, or the character of the infestation is such that complete extirpation of the parasites and lesions is difficult and uncertainly accomplished, or if the parasitic infestation or invasion renders the organ or part in any way unfit for food, the affected organ or part shall be condemned. Where parasites are found to be distributed in a carcass in such a manner, or to be of such a character that their removal and the removal of the lesions caused by them are impracticable, no part of the carcass shall be passed for food.
