For the purposes hereinbefore set forth the commissioner shall cause to be made by inspectors appointed for that purpose, as hereinafter provided, a postmortem examination and inspection of the carcasses and parts thereof of all cattle, sheep, poultry, swine, goats, horses, mules and other equines, capable of use as human food, to be prepared at any slaughtering, meat-canning, salting, packing, rendering or similar establishment in this state in which such articles are prepared solely for intrastate commerce; and the carcasses and parts thereof of all such animals found to be not adulterated shall be marked, stamped, tagged or labeled as "Louisiana Inspected and Passed"; and said inspectors shall label, mark, stamp or tag as "Inspected and Condemned" all carcasses and parts thereof thus inspected and condemned and all carcasses and parts thereof condemned shall be destroyed for food purposes by the said establishment in the presence of an inspector. The commissioner may remove inspectors from any such condemned carcass or part thereof, and said inspectors, after said first inspection shall, when they deem it necessary, reinspect said carcasses or parts thereof to determine whether since the first inspection the same have become adulterated and if any carcass or any part thereof shall, upon examination and inspection subsequent to the first examination and inspection, be found to be adulterated, it shall be destroyed for food purposes by the said establishment in the presence of an inspector.
