Which outcome indicates a carcass is not suitable for human consumption?

• A. Condemned
• B. Passed for food
• C. Passed with restrictions
• D. Reinspected

Answer: (A)

Not suitable for human consumption is shown by condemnation. When a carcass is condemned, inspectors have found health hazards, disease, or defects severe enough that the meat cannot enter the food supply, and it must be disposed of or diverted to non-edible uses.

In contrast, passing for food means there are no disqualifying defects. Passing with restrictions indicates there are issues that must be addressed (such as trimming or specific processing/labeling requirements) but the carcass can still be sold for human consumption after those conditions are met. Reinspected simply means the carcass is reviewed again; it could end up being accepted or condemned depending on what the additional review shows, but reinpection itself does not indicate unfitness.
