§ 330. Inspection, sampling and analysis

For the purpose of enforcing this chapter and determining whether or not an operation may be subject to these provisions, the secretary upon presenting appropriate credentials is authorized:

(1) to enter any premises during normal business hours where commercial feeds are manufactured, processed, packed, or held for distribution and to stop and enter any vehicle being used to transport or hold feeds;

(2) to inspect factories, warehouses, establishments, vehicles, equipment, finished and unfinished materials, containers and labeling;

(3) to sample commercial feed and feed ingredients. 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. The results of all analyses of official samples shall be forwarded by the secretary to the correspondent named in the registration form and to the purchaser. When the inspection and analysis of an official sample indicates that a commercial feed has been adulterated or misbranded and upon request within 30 days following receipt of the analysis, the secretary shall furnish to the registrant a portion of the sample concerned.
