The commissioner or the commissioner's duly authorized agents may inspect any fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, farm products, livestock or other commodities that are marked, branded or labeled in accordance with official grades or standards established and adopted by the commissioner for the purpose of determining and certifying the quality and condition thereof and other material facts relative thereto.
