Section 603-029-4030 - Marking Inspected Products

Except as otherwise authorized by the Department, the Oregon inspection legend applied to inspected and passed exotic animal carcasses, meat or meat products under this Division 29 shall include wording as follows: "Inspected and Passed by Oregon Department of Agriculture." This wording shall be contained within a triangle in the form and arrangement shown in this rule. The establishment number of the state-inspected establishment shall be included in the triangle unless it appears elsewhere on the packaging material. Ordering and manufacture of the triangle brand shall be in accordance with the provisions in OAR 603-029-1006(3). The Department may approve the use of abbreviations of such Oregon inspection legend, and such approved abbreviations shall have the same force and effect as the Oregon inspection legend. The Oregon inspection legend or approved abbreviation shall be applied, under the supervision of an inspector, to the inspected and passed edible product, packaging material, immediate container or shipping container. When the Oregon inspection legend or approved abbreviation is used on packaging material, immediate container or shipping container, it shall be printed on such material or container or on a label to be affixed to the packaging material or container. The name and address of the packer or distributor of such product shall be printed on the packaging material or label. The Oregon inspection legend may be stenciled on the container, and when the Oregon inspection legend is so stenciled, the name and address of the packer or distributor may be applied by the use of a stencil or rubber stamp. The name and address of the packer or distributor, if prominently shown elsewhere on the packaging material or container, may be omitted from insert labels which bear an Oregon identification if the applicable establishment number is shown.

(1) The Oregon inspection legend to be applied to inspected and passed carcasses and parts of carcasses of an exotic animal, and products as therefrom approved by the Department, shall be in the form and arrangement as indicated in the example below.

(3) Any brand, stamp, label or other device approved by the Department and bearing any Oregon mark prescribed in section (1) or (2) of this rule shall be an Oregon device for purposes of this Division 29.
