Code of Federal Regulations Title 9. Animals and Animal Products § 9.327.21 Inspection procedures for chilled fresh and frozen boneless manufacturing meat

(1) Frozen boneless manufacturing meat is meat, frozen in the fresh state from cattle, sheep, swine, goats, horses, mules, or other equines that has all bone removed and is cut into pieces or trimmings, frozen into a compact block of any shape and suitable for slicing or chopping in the manufacturing of meat food products.  1

¹ The official CFR appears to have inadvertently retained a former last sentence of this paragraph, which was removed by 57 FR 27906.

(2) Imported frozen boneless manufacturing meat shall be sampled as required by § 327.6(a) of this part, and the samples defrosted for inspection. The Program import inspector, or in the case of Canadian product subject to procedures described in § 327.5(d)(1), the Canadian representative will select from a lot the appropriate number of cartons specified by the table of sampling plans. The total sample for inspection will consist of the necessary number of 12–pound units drawn from these cartons. The 12–pound units selected will be completely defrosted and examined.
