§ 18871

California Food and Agricultural Code · 2018-11 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

Since it cannot be determined with certainty, by any present known method of inspection, whether meat, including any poultry meat, is unwholesome unless the organs and other tissues of an animal are inspected when slaughtered, and as meat and meat food products, and poultry products which are derived from uninspected livestock or poultry may be unfit for human food, the director, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, shall seize and destroy for human food purposes any meat, meat food product, or poultry product that does not bear the “inspected and passed” stamp, brand, mark, or label which is required by this chapter.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1970, Ch. 1385.)
