Or. Admin. Code § 603-029-1400 - Transactions in Commerce Prohibited Without Official Inspection Legend or Certificate When Required; Exceptions; and Vehicle Sanitation Requirements
(1) No person shall
sell, transport, offer for sale or transportation, or receive for
transportation, in commerce, any meat or meat product which is capable of use
as human food unless the product and its container, if any, bear an official
inspection legend as required under OAR 603-029-0900 to 603-029-1060 or such
product is exempted from the requirement of inspection under OAR
603-029-0020.
(2) No carrier shall
transport or receive for transportation in commerce (including transportation
in the course of importation) and no person shall offer for transportation any
carcass, or part thereof, meat or meat product until a certificate, if required
for such transportation by this rule, is made and furnished to the carrier in
one of the forms prescribed in this rule.
(3) No person, engaged in the business of
buying, selling, freezing, storing, or transporting, in or for commerce, meat
or meat products capable of use as human food shall transport, offer for
transportation, or receive for transportation in commerce any such meat or meat
product which is capable of use as human food and is not wrapped, packaged, or
otherwise enclosed to prevent adulteration by airborne contaminants, unless the
railroad car, truck, or other means of conveyance in which the product is
contained or transported is completely enclosed with tight fitting doors or
other covers for all openings. In all cases, the means of conveyance shall be
reasonably free of foreign matter (such as dust, dirt, rust, or other articles
or residues), and free of chemical residues, so that product placed therein
will not become adulterated. Any cleaning compound, lye, soda solution, or
other chemical used in cleaning the means of conveyance must be thoroughly
removed from the means of conveyance prior to its use. Such means of conveyance
onto which product is loaded, being loaded, or intended to be loaded, shall be
subject to inspection by an inspector at any state-inspected establishment. The
decision whether or not to inspect a means of conveyance in a specific case,
and the type and extent of such inspection shall be at the Department's
discretion and shall be adequate to determine if product in such conveyance is,
or when moved could become, adulterated. Circumstances of transport that can be
reasonably anticipated shall be considered in making said determination. These
include, but are not limited to, weather conditions, duration and distance of
trip, nature of product covering, and effect of restowage at stops en-route.
Any means of conveyance found upon such inspection to be in such condition that
product placed therein could become adulterated shall not be used until such
condition which could cause adulteration is corrected. Product placed in any
means of conveyance that is found by the inspector to be in such condition that
the product may have become adulterated shall be removed from the means of
conveyance and handled in accordance with OAR 603-029-1105(4).
