Minnesota Administrative Rules

1540.3520 TAGGING PRODUCTS "MINNESOTA RETAINED" ON REINSPECTION.

A "Minnesota retained" tag shall be placed by a department employee at the time of reinspection on all products or the containers thereof which are suspected on reinspection at an official establishment or in the possession of such establishment of being unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, or in any way unfit for human food. The employee who affixes the tag shall record the tag number and the kind and amount of the article retained. Such tag shall accompany such article to the retaining room or other special place for final inspection. When the final inspection is made, if the article is condemned, the original mark, stamp, or label thereon shall be removed or defaced and the inspector shall stamp on or write across the face of the retained tag the phrase "Minnesota inspected and condemned" and this tag shall accompany such article into the tank. The inspector shall make a complete record of the transaction and shall report the action to the commissioner. If, however, upon final inspection the article is passed for food, the inspector shall remove the retained tag, record the transaction, and report the action to the commissioner.
