I see the occasional 48' tanker full of pig blood - labelled
"NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION". And I ask myself "Why not?"

Probably because it's very perishable and is neither fresh nor clean
and sterile at that point. But it's not wasted. Blood meal and for
that matter bone and feather meal are important components for
animal, poultry and fish food pellets. And at the very least the
leftovers go into fertilizers.

As with most questions of "Why do/don't they?" the answer is, as ever
was, "MONEY". If there were enough fiscal reason the blood could be
kept fit for human consumption.
Yes, I'm a cynic .... with good reason.

There's nothing to be cynical about. People's tastes have changed
and food made with blood for human consumption is simply not
saleable except as a constituent of animal and fish food. so they
consume it indirectly and unknowingly. The only people who will buy
blood sausage and the like are a few (very few) souls with
adventuresome palates like Michael and people with family farm
backgrounds who have been involved with home slaughtering and
butchering in the past like you, me and Roslind. We are a very
small market.

My mom uses blood meal on her roses. Stinky stuff but man do those
roses love it!

Not so. I can recall going into the local H-Mart (a Korean grocery
store) with Michael and him spotting packages of blood for sale (I
believe frozen).
