Hello Flounder, your texted data displayed on the previous page ;b) Carcass Identification

It is a requirement under the Animal Identification provisions of the Health of Animals Regulations that the operator of a slaughter establishment where an animal bearing an approved tag (i.e. a tag as defined under the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) and Agri-traccabilite Quebec (ATQ)) is slaughtered, maintains the identity of the animal's carcass until the carcass is approved for human consumption or is condemned. The CCIA/ATQ ear tag shall be removed and placed into a clean plastic bag which is attached to the fore shank of the carcass following hide removal. Alternative procedures that assure, with equal confidence, maintenance of the identity of the carcass and all its parts until their final disposition is known, may be approved by the veterinarian in charge.

CFIA inspection personnel will monitor this procedure as part of verifying the controls the operator has in place to ensure the proper identification of the carcass and the correlation of the carcass and its parts.
