31A.06 INSPECTORS' DUTIES.
The commissioner shall appoint inspectors to examine and inspect poultry food products
and meat food products prepared in a slaughtering, meat canning, salting, packing, rendering,
or similar establishment, where the articles are prepared solely for intrastate commerce. For
examination and inspection purposes, the inspectors must be given access at all times, whether the
establishment is operated or not, to every part of the establishment. The inspectors shall mark,
stamp, tag, or label as "Minnesota Inspected and Passed" all products found to be unadulterated,
and the inspectors shall label, mark, stamp, or tag as "Minnesota Inspected and Condemned"
all products found to be adulterated. Condemned meat food products or poultry food products
must be destroyed for food purposes under section 31A.04. The commissioner may remove
inspectors from an establishment which fails to destroy condemned poultry food products or
meat food products.
