1. Trichina: in the case of products containing pork muscular tissue, freezing treatment for Trichinella control is required (the internal temperature of the meat as well as the room temperature can be used; see the table in Annex A). The applicable controls are indicated in section 4.10.2(2) of the manual.
2. PRRS: Certification can be issued based on absence of compelling evidence of the disease on ante- and post-mortem inspection. The statement on the certificate which reads, "The meat was derived from animals in which no clinical signs of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome disease were discovered before and after slaughter", is deemed to mean that the animals have passed routine mandatory CFIA ante- and post-mortem inspection.
3. Erysipelas: if typical signs of the disease are detected at the slaughter plant, the meat derived from the affected animal must be considered ineligible.
4. Other Diseases: these are referred to in relation to absence of signs at the slaughter plant and are limited to those diseases which are previously referred to in the section dealing with the status of farms.
