Barrels of inedible slaughter byproducts are labeled and stored in a separate cooler from trimmed and washed carcasses. This is considered:

Proper separation and labeling of inedible slaughter byproducts is about preventing cross-contamination and ensuring correct handling. When barrels of these byproducts are clearly labeled and stored in a separate cooler from trimmed and washed carcasses, it shows that the establishment is controlling where nonedible materials go and how they’re tracked. This aligns with regulatory expectations that inedible byproducts must be identified and kept separate from edible product streams to avoid any mix-up or accidental use. Therefore, this scenario represents compliance. If the byproducts were not labeled or stored apart—such as being kept with edible carcasses—that would indicate noncompliance due to contamination risk and misidentification.
