INSPECTION, LABELING, SANITATION, AND EXEMPTIONS
[§161-21] Ante-mortem inspection. For
the purpose of preventing the use in intrastate commerce of poultry or poultry
products which are adulterated, the board shall cause to be made, by veterinarians
and poultry inspectors appointed for that purpose, an examination and
inspection of all poultry, before they are allowed to enter into any poultry
slaughtering, packing, poultry-canning, or similar establishment in this State
in which slaughtering and processing of poultry or poultry products are
conducted solely for intrastate commerce; and all poultry found on such
inspection to show symptoms of disease shall be set apart from all other
poultry and slaughtered or otherwise disposed of as provided in the rules and
regulations, and when so slaughtered, the carcasses of the poultry shall be
subject to a careful examination and inspection, all as provided by the rules
and regulations to be prescribed by the board. [L 1969, c 212, §13]
