(1) Except as otherwise provided in sections (7) and (8) of this rule or OAR 603-029-1135, no product shall be brought into a state-inspected establishment unless:

(a) It has been slaughtered or prepared only in a state-inspected establishment and previously inspected and passed by a Department employee, and is identified by an Oregon inspection legend as so inspected and passed

(b) It has been slaughtered or prepared only in an official federal establishment and previously inspected and passed by an FSIS employee, and is identified by an official federal inspection legend as so inspected and passed; or

(c) It has been slaughtered or prepared only in a CIS establishment and previously inspected and passed by an employee of that state, and is identified by an official federal inspection legend as so inspected and passed.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, product imported in accordance with 9 CFR part 327 and not slaughtered or prepared in the United States outside a state-inspected establishment, official federal establishment, or CIS establishment may enter any state-inspected establishment, subject in other respects to the same restrictions as apply to domestic product. Products received in a state-inspected establishment during the Department employee's absence shall be identified and maintained in a manner acceptable to such employee. Product entering any state-inspected establishment shall not be used or prepared thereat until it has been reinspected in accordance with OAR 603-029-1105. Any product originally slaughtered or prepared at any state-inspected establishment may not be returned into any part of such establishment, except the receiving area approved under OAR 603-029-1110, until it has been re-inspected by the inspector.

(2) No slaughtered poultry or poultry product shall be brought into a state-inspected establishment unless it has been:

(a) previously inspected and passed and is identified as such in accordance with the requirements of the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.) and the regulations thereunder, and has not been prepared other than in an establishment inspected under said Act, or

(b) has been inspected and passed and is identified as such in accordance with the requirements of a State law.

(3) Every article for use as an ingredient in the preparation of meat products, when entering any state-inspected establishment and at all times while it is in such establishment, shall bear a label showing the name of the article, the amount or percentage therein of any substances restricted by this rule or OAR 603-029-1026 to 603-029-1060, and a list of ingredients in the article if composed of two or more ingredients: Provided, That in the case of articles received in tank car lots, only one such label shall be used to identify each lot. In addition, the label must show the name and address of the shipper.

(4) To ensure the safe use of preparations used in hog scalding water or in the denuding of tripe, the label or labeling on containers of such preparations shall bear adequate directions to ensure use in compliance with any limitations prescribed in 21 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter A or Subchapter B, or this Division 29.

(5) Dyes, chemicals, or other substances the use of which is restricted to certain products may be brought into or kept in a state-inspected establishment only if such products are prepared thereat. No prohibited dye, chemical, preservative, or other substance shall be brought into or kept in a state-inspected establishment.

(6) Glands and organs, such as cotyledons, ovaries, prostate glands, tonsils, spinal cords, and detached lymphatic, pineal, pituitary, parathyroid, suprarenal, pancreatic and thyroid glands, used in preparing pharmaceutical, organotherapeutic, or technical products and which are not used as human food (whether or not prepared at state-inspected establishments) may be brought into and stored in edible product parts of state-inspected establishments if packaged in suitable containers so that the presence of such glands and organs will in no way interfere with the maintenance of sanitary conditions or constitute an interference with inspection. Glands or organs which are regarded as human food products, such as livers, testicles, and thymus glands, may be brought into state-inspected establishments for pharmaceutical, organotherapeutic or technical purposes, only if Oregon inspected and passed or U.S. inspected and passed, and so identified. Lungs and lung lobes derived from meat animals slaughtered in any official federal establishment or state-inspected establishment may not be brought into any state-inspected establishment except as provided in OAR 603-029-1135(1).

(b) Meat and meat products bearing official marks showing that they were inspected and passed under State inspection in any State not designated in 9 CFR 331.2 may be received by state-inspected establishments. The presence of such a product must not create any unsanitary condition or otherwise result in adulteration of any products at the state-inspected establishment or interfere with the conduct of inspection under this Division. In addition, such products must be stored separately and apart from the state-inspected products in the state-inspected establishment.

(8) The operator of the state-inspected establishment shall furnish such information as is necessary to determine the origin of any product or other article entering the state-inspected establishment. Such information shall include, but is not limited to, the name and address of the seller or supplier, transportation company, agent, or broker involved in the sale or delivery of the product or article in question.

(9) Any product or any poultry or poultry product or other article that is brought into a state-inspected establishment contrary to any provision of this rule may be required by the Department to be removed immediately from such establishment by the operator thereof, and failure to comply with such requirement shall be deemed a violation of this Division 29. If any slaughtered poultry or poultry products or other articles are received at a state-inspected establishment and are suspected of being adulterated or misbranded under the Poultry Products Inspection Act or the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or applicable State laws, the appropriate governmental authorities will be notified.
