[Amended 8-11-1999 by Ord. No. 3710]
The provisions of Chapter 78, Food Establishments,
of Title 7, Agriculture, Department of Agriculture, of the Pennsylvania
Code, and the 1997 FDA Food Code, as amended, shall regulate meat,
meat products and poultry within the City.
No meat or meat products shall be offered for
sale, displayed, sold or kept in any food establishment unless such
products have first been inspected and approved by either an authorized
agent of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of
Agriculture, or the Bureau of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture. The Board may, in its discretion, permit the sale
of meat or meat products which have been inspected and approved by
a duly authorized agent who is a qualified and licensed veterinarian
appointed under an ordinance of a municipality of the commonwealth,
provided that the procedure followed in conducting inspections, including
the facilities for making the same, the requirements with respect
to the sanitation of the establishment and the marking, branding or
identifying of meat or meat products, shall conform with the regulations
of the United States Department of Agriculture or the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture.
All meat or meat products offered for sale, displayed, sold or stored in any food establishment shall be marked in a clear and legible manner with the official meat inspection legend as provided in § 444-69 of this chapter.
Any slaughtering, meat canning, curing, smoking,
salting, packing, rendering or other similar establishment where meat
or meat products are prepared for sale in the City, regardless of
whether such establishment is located within the City, shall be subject
to inspection by the Board.[1]
