Section 870 - Monitoring Inspections at Slaughterhouses

Brand inspectors shall visit each licensed slaughterhouse and inspect cattle received from registered feed lots and licensed and posted cattle sales markets in accordance with the following monitoring procedures to assure that all cattle shipped from such points were inspected as required by Section 21051 of the Food and Agricultural Code:

(a) A statistical sampling system for inspecting such cattle will be developed and utilized by the director that will provide the optimum degree of probability for detecting uninspected cattle. Each feed lot and cattle sales market shall have at least one of its shipments inspected once each month.
(b) The sampling system developed shall result in the inspection prior to slaughter of at least five percent of the cattle slaughtered at licensed slaughterhouses.
(c) Whenever it is determined by the director that any feed lot or cattle sales market is not obtaining the required inspection on all cattle handled, all cattle received for slaughter from such feed lots or sales markets are then subject to inspection prior to slaughter until the director is satisfied that compliance is being obtained.
