[R.O. 1966 § 12:7-109; Ord. 6PSF-E, 8-6-2014]
Rendered fat derived in whole or in part from condemned products
shall be so denatured, either with low-grade offal or approved mineral
oil, as to destroy it effectually for food purposes. When low-grade
offal is used as a denaturant the rendered fat shall be at least as
dark in color as the Department of Health and Community Wellness color
guide. When mineral oil is used as a denaturant the rendered fat shall
contain not less than one part of mineral oil in each 200 parts of
the finished rendered product.
Rendered inedible fat from products other than condemned will
not be required to be denatured unless it possesses the physical characteristics
of color, odor and taste of an edible product.
Any carcass or product condemned at an official establishment
which has no facilities for tanking shall be thoroughly slashed with
a knife and denatured with crude carbolic acid under the supervision
of an inspector. When a carcass or product is condemned because of
anthrax, in the absence of tanking facilities, the inspector shall
at once notify the State Department of Health, the State Department
of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industry, and the Health Officer.
Disposal of the carcass shall then be determined by the Health Officer.
Livers condemned because of parasitic infestations, nonmalignant
changes, benign abscessess or contamination may be forwarded from
the establishment for fish food, provided the livers are trimmed free
of the abscess process within the establishment, after they have been
thoroughly cooked by boiling and then slashed and denatured by dipping
in a hot solution of methyl violet in 5,000 parts of water or other
approved dye. In lieu of the dye treatment such livers may be slashed,
and finely powdered dry charcoal may be applied, and then frozen at
a temperature not higher than 10° F. for not less than 48 hours.
Such freezing may be accomplished in a regular freezer in a separate
receptacle secured by a Department of Health and Community Wellness
lock and a retained tag.
