Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(a) When any meat or meat food product
prepared for intrastate commerce which has been inspected as hereinbefore
provided and marked "Idaho inspected and passed" shall be placed or packed in
any can, pot, tin, canvas, or other receptacle or covering in any
establishment where inspection under the provisions of this act is maintained,
the person, firm, or corporation preparing the product shall cause a label to
be attached to the can, pot, tin, canvas, or other receptacle or covering,
under supervision of an inspector, which label shall state that the contents
thereof have been "Idaho inspected and passed" under the provisions of this
act, and no inspection and examination of meat or meat food products deposited
or inclosed in cans, tins, pots, canvas, or other receptacle or covering in
any establishment where inspection under the provisions of this act is
maintained shall be deemed to be complete until such meat or meat food
products have been sealed or inclosed in the can, tin, pot, canvas, or other
receptacle or covering under the supervision of an inspector.
(b) All carcasses, parts of carcasses, meat and meat food products
inspected at any establishment under the authority of this act and found to be
not adulterated, shall at the time they leave the establishment bear, in
distinctly legible form, directly thereon or on their containers, as the
director may require, the information required under paragraph (k) of section
37-1901, Idaho Code.
(c) The director, whenever he determines such action is necessary for the
protection of the public, may prescribe: (1) the styles and sizes of type to
be used with respect to material required to be incorporated in labeling to
avoid false or misleading labeling of any articles or animals subject to this
act; (2) definitions and standards of identity or composition for articles
subject to this act and standards of fill of container for such articles not
inconsistent with any such standards established under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act, or under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, and there shall be
consultation between the director and the secretary of agriculture of the
United States prior to the issuance of such standards to avoid inconsistency
between such standards and the federal standards.
(d) No article subject to this act shall be sold or offered for sale by
any person, firm, or corporation, in intrastate commerce, under any name or
other marking or labeling which is false or misleading, or in any container of
a misleading form or size, but established trade names and other marking and
labeling and containers which are not false or misleading and which are
approved by the director, are permitted.
(e) If the director has reason to believe that any marking or labeling or
the size or form of any container in use or proposed for use with respect to
any article subject to this act is false or misleading in any particular, he
may direct that such use be withheld unless the marking, labeling, or
container is modified in such manner as he may prescribe so that it will not
be false or misleading. If the person, firm, or corporation using or proposing
to use the marking, labeling or container does not accept the determination of
the director, such person, firm, or corporation may request a hearing, but the
use of the marking, labeling, or container shall, if the director so directs,
be withheld pending hearing and final determination by the director. Any such
determination by the director shall be conclusive unless, within thirty (30)
days after receipt of notice of such final determination, the person, firm, or
corporation adversely affected thereby appeals to the appropriate district
court.
