§ 19402 Horsemeat And Animal Food Inspection

Key Takeaways

  • •People who sell or make food for animals (like horse meat) must let inspectors check their records anytime during work hours.
  • •Inspectors can be the boss (director), health officers, or sanitation inspectors.
  • •The records must always be ready to show—no hiding or locking them away.

Example

A store sells dog food made from horse meat. One day, a health inspector walks in and asks to see their records.

The store must show the records right away. If they say 'no' or try to hide them, they’re breaking the law.
