135-A - Inspection, sampling and analysis.

 
    § 135-a. Inspection,  sampling  and  analysis.  1.  For the purpose of
  enforcing this article, and in order to determine whether its provisions
  have been complied with, including whether or not any operations may  be
  subject  to  such  provisions,  officers or employees of the department,
  upon presenting appropriate credentials  and,  if  feasible,  a  written
  notice to the owner, operator, or other person in charge, are authorized
  (a)  to  enter,  at  all  reasonable  times,  any factory, warehouse, or
  establishment  within  the  state  in  which  commercial  feed  or  feed
  ingredients   may  be  manufactured,  processed,  packed,  or  held  for
  distribution, or to enter any vehicle which may be used to transport  or
  hold  such  feed  or  ingredients; and (b) to inspect, at all reasonable
  times,  such  factory,  warehouse,  establishment  or  vehicle  and  all
  pertinent  equipment, finished and unfinished materials, containers, and
  labeling therein, and to obtain samples thereat.
    2. If the officer or employee making such  inspection  of  a  factory,
  warehouse,  establishment or vehicle has obtained a sample in the course
  of the inspection, if feasible, upon completion of  the  inspection  and
  prior  to  leaving the premises, he shall give to the owner, operator or
  other person in charge a receipt describing the sample obtained.
    3. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted in accordance with methods
  published by the Association of  Official  Analytical  Chemists,  or  in
  accordance  with  other  generally recognized methods as approved by the
  commissioner.
    4. The results of all analyses of official samples shall be  forwarded
  by  the  commissioner to the person in whose name the brand of such feed
  is registered under section one hundred twenty-nine of this article,  or
  if there be no such registrant for the same, then to the person named on
  the  label or invoice, delivery slip or other document for such feed, or
  if the commissioner deems it appropriate, to the person  from  whom  the
  sample  was obtained.  When the analysis of an official sample indicates
  a commercial feed has been adulterated or misbranded,  upon  request  by
  the  person  receiving  such  results  within fifteen days following the
  receipt thereof, the commissioner or his authorized agent shall  furnish
  such person a portion of the sample concerned.
