1997 Minnesota Statutes

     31A.08 Rules. 

    The commissioner shall have experts in sanitation or other 
 competent inspectors inspect all slaughtering, meat canning, 
 salting, packing, rendering, or similar establishments in which 
 animals are slaughtered and their meat and meat food products 
 are prepared solely for intrastate commerce.  The inspections 
 must be conducted as necessary for the commissioner to know the 
 sanitary conditions of the establishments, and to prescribe the 
 rules of sanitation under which the establishments must be 
 maintained.  If an establishment has sanitary conditions that 
 allow meat or meat food products to become adulterated, the 
 commissioner shall refuse to allow the meat or meat food 
 products to be labeled, marked, stamped, or tagged as "Minnesota 
 Inspected and Passed."
