31A.08 SANITATION.
The commissioner shall have experts in sanitation or other competent inspectors inspect
all slaughtering, meat canning, salting, packing, rendering, or similar establishments in which
animals are slaughtered and their poultry, poultry food products, meat, and meat food products
are prepared solely for intrastate commerce. The inspections must be conducted as necessary for
the commissioner to know the sanitary conditions of the establishments, and to prescribe the
rules of sanitation under which the establishments must be maintained. If an establishment has
sanitary conditions that allow poultry, poultry food products, meat, or meat food products to
become adulterated, the commissioner shall refuse to allow the poultry, poultry food products,
meat, or meat food products to be labeled, marked, stamped, or tagged as "Minnesota Inspected
and Passed."
