LAC 49:I.980. Trichinae in Pork Prohibited [Formerly 49:3.2002]

A. Inasmuch as it cannot certainly be determined, by any present known method of inspection, whether the muscle tissue of pork contains trichinae, and inasmuch as live trichinae are dangerous to health, no article of a kind prepared customarily to be eaten without cooking shall contain any muscle tissue of pork unless the pork has been subjected to a temperature sufficient to destroy all live trichinae, or such other treatment as may be prescribed by the department.
