The Commissioner may employ inspectors for the purpose of enforcing the
provisions of the egg marketing law. These inspectors may examine any eggs
offered or exposed for sale for human consumption at the times and places
and in a manner as the Commissioner may direct.
The department shall have free access, at all reasonable hours when the
business is open to the general public, to any establishment, premises, or
building where eggs are processed, stored, or offered for sale, and to any
vehicle used to transport or hold eggs, for the purpose of inspecting the
establishment, premises, building, or vehicle or the eggs to determine
compliance with the provisions of the Kentucky egg marketing law.
The department shall have free access at all reasonable hours when the
business is open to the general public, to any restaurant kitchen, hotel kitchen,
or kitchen of any other public eating place, including schools, hospitals, nursing
homes, or other similar institutions, to determine compliance with the provisions
of the Kentucky egg marketing law. If the inspector determines that inspected
eggs fail to comply with the Kentucky egg marketing law or standards as
established by USDA, the inspector shall take the necessary action and issue
an advisory on proper procedures.
All licensees shall keep a record of all eggs handled during the license year,
and any other records the department shall require. These records shall be
available for examination by authorized agents of the department.
An inspector may, for the purpose of enforcing the Kentucky egg marketing
law, break any form of sealing on any case or retail container. If a broken seal
necessitates the repacking of the cases or containers, the original packer shall
absorb all expenses involved.
