The commodities were derived from bovines that have never been fed meat-and-bone meal or greaves derived from ruminants.
The commodities were derived from bovines that passed ante-mortem and post-mortem inspections.
The commodities were derived from bovines that were not subjected to a stunning process, prior to slaughter, with a device injecting compressed air or gas into the cranial cavity, or to a pithing process.
The commodities were produced and handled in a manner that ensured that such commodities do not contain and are not contaminated with any of the following:
SRMs from regions of undetermined risk for BSE; or
Mechanically separated meat from the skull and vertebral column from bovines over 12 months of age.
The commodities are accompanied by an original certificate stating that the exporting region is a region of undetermined risk for BSE and that the conditions of this section have been met. The certificate must be issued and signed by a full-time salaried veterinary officer of the national government of the exporting region, or signed by a person authorized to issue such certificates by the veterinary services of the national government of the exporting region.
