§ 5415. Post-Mortem Examination. For the purposes set forth in 2 CMC §§ 5412 to 5414: (a) The director shall appoint inspectors and cause them to make post-mortem examination and inspection of the carcasses and parts thereof of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats capable of use as human food, to be prepared at any slaughtering, meat-canning, salting, packing, rendering, or similar establishment in the Commonwealth in which such articles are prepared solely for export commerce. The carcasses and parts of all such animals found to be unadulterated shall be marked, stamped, tagged, or labeled as “Inspected and Passed.” The carcasses and parts of all such animals found to be adulterated shall be marked, stamped, tagged, or labeled as “Inspected and Condemned.” The carcasses and parts of all such inspected and condemned animals shall be destroyed for food purposes by the establishment in the presence of an inspector, and the director may remove inspectors from any establishment which fails to so destroy any condemned carcass or part. (b) After the first inspection authorized under subsection (a) of this section, the inspectors shall, when they deem it necessary, reinspect the animal carcasses or parts to determine whether they have become adulterated, and, if any carcass or any parts are found to have become adulterated, they shall be destroyed for food purposes by the establishment in the presence of an inspector. The director may remove inspectors from any establishment which fails to so destroy any condemned carcass or part. Source: 25 TTC § 54.
