establishments - Condemnation - Appeals.

A. For the purpose of preventing the entry into or flow or

movement in intrastate commerce of any poultry product which is

capable of use as human food and is adulterated, the Board shall,

where and to the extent considered by it necessary, cause to be made

by inspectors antemortem inspection of poultry in each official

establishment engaged in processing poultry or poultry products

solely for intrastate commerce.

B. The Board, whenever processing operations are being

conducted, shall cause to be made by inspectors postmortem

inspection of the carcass of each bird processed, and at any time

such quarantine, segregation and reinspection as it deems necessary

of poultry and poultry products capable of use as human food in each

official establishment engaged in processing poultry or poultry

products solely for intrastate commerce.

C. All poultry carcasses and parts thereof and other poultry

products found to be adulterated shall be condemned and shall, if no

appeal be taken from such determination of condemnation, be

destroyed for human food purposes under the provision of an

inspector. Provided, that carcasses, parts, and products which may

by reprocessing be made not adulterated, need not be so condemned

and destroyed if so reprocessed under the supervision of an

inspector and thereafter found to be not adulterated. If an appeal

be taken from such determination, the carcasses, parts, or products

shall be appropriately marked and segregated pending completion of

an appeal inspection, which appeal shall be at the cost of the

appellant if the Board determines that the appeal is frivolous. If

the determination of condemnation is sustained, the carcasses,

parts, and products shall be destroyed for food purposes under the

supervision of an inspector.
