The present Regulation enforces the Food Safety and Quality Act, 2001 (S.O. 2001, c. 20). In particular, the Regulation governs the disposal of deadstock in the possession of a custodian and the disposal of any dead animal collected by a collector or received by a disposal facility. The Regulation generally applies to specified farmed food animals that are dead, were not slaughtered for food and are not disposed of under any other legislation. Deadstock animals are alpacas, bison, cattle, deer, elk, goats, llamas, sheep, yaks, horses, ponies, donkeys, pigs and other porcine animals and ratites. The carcasses of poultry and rabbits also are included as deadstock if the custodian at the time of their death had more than 300 rabbits, or 50 turkeys or 300 poultry other than turkeys, whether dead or alive. Hybrids of any of these animals are also deadstock.
