The code used and its meaning shall be on record in the office of the veterinary supervisor.(b) Canned product shall be processed at such temperature and for such period of time as will assure keeping without refrigeration under usual conditions of storage and transportation when heating is relied on for preservation, with the exception of those canned products which are processed without steam-pressure cooking by permission of the Department in specific cases and labeled "Perishable, Keep Under Refrigeration."(c) Lots of canned product shall be identified during their handling preparatory to heat processing by tagging the baskets, cages or cans with a tag which will change color on going through the heat processing or by other effective means so as to positively preclude failure to heat after closing.
