A. All meats and meat products, whether fresh or cured, shall be subject to inspection at any time during reasonable working hours, in order to determine whether the same are sound, healthful, wholesome and fit for human food. If upon inspection any article is found to have become unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, or in any way unfit for human food, the original mark stamp or label thereon shall be removed or defaced and the article condemned; provided that:
1. if an article becomes soiled or unclean by
falling on the floor or in any other accidental way whereby the meat or meat
product may be cleaned or trimmed to remove or repair all soiled
areas;
2. if an article is found to
have absorbed a foreign odor, contains mold or similar substance or, in the
case of rendered animal fat, there is present tank water in the first stage of
sourness, and the article is capable of being rehandled by approved methods to
recondition it for food purposes if the necessary steps are taken immediately,
such reconditioning may be permitted; provided that upon final reinspection if
the article is found to be sound and wholesome it may be approved for human
food; otherwise it shall be condemned and either destroyed or rendered into
tankage.
