The commissioner shall cause post-mortem inspections to be made on all carcasses and parts thereof of cattle, swine, sheep, goats, farmed cervidae, llama, horses, equines, other large domesticated animal, and poultry usable as human food prepared at a slaughtering, meat canning, salting, packing, rendering, or similar establishment in this state in which carcasses or parts thereof are prepared solely for intrastate commerce. Animal carcasses or parts thereof determined to be unadulterated must be marked, stamped, tagged, or labeled as "Inspected and Passed". Inspectors shall label, mark, stamp, or tag as "Inspected and Condemned" animal carcasses or parts thereof found to be adulterated. Carcasses or animal parts inspected and condemned must be destroyed for food purposes by the establishment in the presence of an inspector. Meat and meat food products inspected and passed under this title may be shipped in interstate commerce when federal law permits state-inspected meat and meat food products to be marketed interstate. All inspections are to be done in accordance with title 9, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 310 and 381.
