Meat of goat, frozen

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for frozen goat meat classified exactly as CPC 21136. It covers the facility operations from accepted live goats at receiving through slaughter, exsanguination, skinning, evisceration, standard carcass dressing and cutting, pre-chilling, freezing, packaging, frozen holding, quality release, cleaning, and conditional on-site wastewater treatment.

The reference product is net conforming frozen goat meat at the facility gate. Fresh or chilled goat meat and edible offal are excluded from the reference product. Goat farming and inbound transport are upstream; distribution after the facility gate, retail, use, and end-of-life are downstream.
