In this case, the viscera and parts which may constitute a danger to the health of the human being must be removed as soon as possible and kept away from products intended for human consumption.

6 Anyone who presents fish must examine them or visually examine them for the presence of parasites. Fish with subcutaneous or marked muscle parasitism or parasites transmissible to humans cannot be returned for use as food.

3.4 Other animals

1 The slaughterhouses in which frogs are prepared must have a room for the storage and washing of live frogs, their slaughter and their bleeding. Frogs and snails must be taken alive to a facility equipped for treatment and to be put to death. Otherwise, they are unfit for consumption.

2 After the killing, the hepatopancreas of the snails must be removed and should not be returned as a food.

3 Immediately after preparation, the frog thighs must be thoroughly washed with current drinking water and then refrigerated without delay at a temperature approaching that of melting, frozen or transformed ice.

4 Shellfish, molluscs, echinoderms and live tunicates delivered directly to the consumer must be maintained at a temperature that does not affect the viability and safety characteristics of the food.

5 For the rest, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms and tunicates are subject to the regulations of the c. 3.3.

Annex 4 1

(art. 4)

Control of animals before slaughter

1 Run

1 When controlling animals prior to slaughter, check the following:

A.
If the accompanying document or health declaration has been submitted and is consistent with the identification of the animal;
B.
Whether the accompanying document or the health declaration suggests questionable characteristics in the animal;
C.
If the general condition of the animal is disturbed and the animal has symptoms of illness or injury;
D.
If there is a suspicion of epizootic diseases, including zoonoses;
E.
If there is evidence to suggest that the provisions for drug treatment or the administration of prohibited substances have not been met;
F.
Whether the provisions on the protection of animals are taken into account;
G.
If the animal does not have clear sublurs;
H.
Whether other findings suggest that public health or animal health could be compromised.

2 In addition to the control of animals prior to slaughter, the official veterinarian must carry out a clinical examination of all animals which the slaughterhouse staff or the official auxiliary has ruled out.

3 The quality control systems of livestock units which refer to clearly identified animals may be taken into account.

4 Where control of animals prior to slaughter has been carried out in the herd of origin and when the overall examination and control of the health declaration (Annex 13) does not make any particular suspicion, no additional checks shall be carried out Required.

2 Measures resulting from the control of animals before slaughter

1 Following the results of the control of animals before slaughter, the official veterinarian may order that an animal:

A.
Be reported for further examination when controlling meat;
B.
Be preemptively isolated;
C.
Be killed in another room or in the same room as other animals, but at another time;
D.
Be shot down immediately;
E.
Be shot only after a specified rest period;
F.
Provisionally not slaughtered for epizootic disease or suspicion of epizootic disease;
G.
Killed and the corpse is disposed of as an animal by-product, or
H.
Be cleaned prior to slaughter.

2 Horses can be slaughtered even in the absence of a sanitary declaration. However, the latter must be presented after the fact to the official veterinarian. If not, the carcass and offal shall be declared unfit for consumption. These requirements also apply in the case of slaughter of horses outside the slaughterhouse.
