Condemnation of Poultry Carcasses Affected with Any of the Forms of Avian Leukosis Complex: Rescission (Proposed Rule) |
| Summary |
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the US poultry products inspection regulations to rescind several regulations related to the inspection and condemnation of poultry carcasses affected with any of the forms of avian leukosis complex.
Currently, the US poultry products inspection regulations require that carcasses of poultry affected with any one or more of the several forms of the avian visceral leukosis complex be condemned (9 CFR 381.82). FSIS is proposing to rescind 9 CFR 381.82, and under the proposed rule, carcasses affected with avian leukosis would be addressed by 9 CFR 381.87, which provides that any organ or other carcass part affected with tumors may be trimmed and that the unaffected parts of the carcass may be inspected and passed.
FSIS is also proposing to rescind 9 CFR 381.36(f)(3), the regulation that requires New Poultry Inspection System (NPIS) young chicken establishments in the United States to provide a leukosis inspection area along the slaughter line, as well as 9 CFR 381.76(b)(6)(iv), the regulation that prescribes inspection procedures for avian visceral leukosis in NPIS young chicken establishments. These regulations do not apply to US turkey establishments operating under the NPIS because avian visceral leukosis is extremely rare in turkeys.
FSIS invites interested persons to submit comments on this notice. Please submit comments on or before 13 May 2022.
