P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 560
(a) The Secretary shall be empowered to direct the inspection, taking of samples and analysis of the commercial feeds distributed in Puerto Rico, and to publish the results of said inspections and analysis in bulletins, newspapers, reviews, or in any other form deemed convenient, for the knowledge of the general public.
(b) To enforce the provisions of this section, the Secretary or his authorized representative is hereby empowered to enter, during working hours, any building, warehouse, store, ship, vehicle or place where commercial feeds are manufactured, stored, transported, offered for sale, or otherwise distributed in Puerto Rico.
Any person refusing entrance to the Secretary or his authorized representative during working hours into any building, warehouse, store, ship, vehicle or place where commercial feeds are manufactured, stored, transported, offered for sale, or otherwise distributed in Puerto Rico, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars ($300) or by imprisonment in jail for a term of not more than thirty (30) days, or both, in the discretion of the court.
(c) When the inspection or analysis of an official sample discloses that a commercial feed is adulterated or falsely labeled, the Secretary shall notify the person in whose name the registration of the commercial feed was made in Puerto Rico, or the person who manufactured, imported or distributed in Puerto Rico the commercial feed without being duly registered, granting him ten days within which to submit any allegation or to request a portion of the official sample. When a portion of the official sample is requested, the term for submitting allegations shall be extended to twenty days reckoning from the date of the receipt of the portion of the official sample. The report on the inspection or analysis of an official sample shall not be otherwise annulled or altered unless adequate evidence is presented which justifies such action. If the person to whom the violation was notified does not submit any allegation within the period above specified, the result of the inspection and analysis of the official sample shall be considered final and unappealable, and the Secretary shall proceed as he may deem pertinent in accordance with the powers vested in him by §§ 554-565 of this title and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
