§ 18729 Meat Inspection Denial Authority

• •The director has the power to deny inspection services.
• •Denial can happen only for reasons listed in federal meat or poultry laws.
• •This applies to any establishment covered by the chapter.

A meat processing plant wants a health inspection, but the director refuses because the plant violates a federal rule about how meat must be handled.

The director can turn away the inspection request since the problem matches a cause listed in the federal meat or poultry laws.
