With respect to consumer-packaged poultry, parts, or specified poultry
food products, the carcass, part, or specified poultry food product is
practically free from defects which result from handling or occur during
freezing or storage. The following defects are permitted if they, alone or
in combination, detract only very slightly from the appearance of the
carcass, part, or specified poultry food
product:
|
1. |
Slight darkening over the back
and drumsticks provided the frozen bird, or part, has a generally
bright appearance. |
|
2. |
Occasional pockmarks due to
drying of the inner layer of skin (derma); however, none may exceed
the area of a circle 1/8 in. in diameter for poultry weighing 6 lb.
or less, and 1/4 in. in diameter for poultry weighing over 6lb. |
|
3. |
Occasional small areas showing
a thin layer of clear or pinkish-colored ice. |
