Why Evisceration Matters
· Food Safety: Digestive tract puncture causes catastrophic carcass contamination
· Health Inspection: Each set of offal must be evaluated for regulatory compliance
· By-Product Value: Green offal (stomach, intestines) and red offal (heart, liver) are high-value by-products
· Cross-Contamination Prevention: Synchronous inspection ensures green and red offal streams are kept strictly separate
