SECTION 42851-42852

42851. Any sample which is taken pursuant to this division is prima
facie evidence of the true conditions of the entire lot in the
examination of which the sample was taken. The presumption
established by this section is a presumption affecting the burden of
proof.

42852. A written notice of violation, which is issued by a duly
qualified representative of the director or by any commissioner or
any qualified representative of the commissioner, which states that a
certain lot of produce violates any provision of this division and
