QUESTION

A sheep carcass found affected with blue tongue virus should be?

OPTIONS

(A) Passed for consumption
(B) Passed after removing tongue
(C) Condemned
(D) Heat processed

ANSWER

(C) Condemned

EXPLANATION

Bluetongue is a systemic viral disease of ruminants, and a carcass showing disease at slaughter is considered unfit under the meat-inspection rule represented by this question. Simply removing the tongue does not eliminate systemic involvement, and routine heat processing is not the prescribed disposition. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
