Yosef Karo, Shulchan Aruch — 50 General laws about punctured body parts
“ Rema: See above in #36 regarding the custom whenever we are unable to ascribe it to something after it's been shechted. Even though it's treifot that can be checked, if they didn't check it or they're unable to check it, behold it's like safek treifah and we forbid it. ”
