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.
