This document provides inspection criteria for various defects found in poultry meat, noting whether the defect results in partial condemnation (only affected areas discarded) or total condemnation (entire carcass discarded). Some examples given are poorly plucked feathers, bleeding issues, bruising, failed evisceration, diseases like dermatitis and cellulitis, emaciation, tumors, liver issues, septicemia, muscle damage, and bone deformities. The inspector uses these criteria to evaluate poultry meat for food safety and quality.
