21 U.S.C. § 456 — Operation of premises, facilities and equipment

submitted 69 years ago by Pub. L. 85-172 to r/title-21-FOOD-AND-DRUGS · 103 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Poultry plants that ship products across state lines must follow sanitary rules set by the Secretary. These rules cover the plant's premises, facilities, and equipment. If a plant's setup does not meet the rules, the Secretary must refuse to inspect it.

(a) Sanitary practices: Every official poultry-slaughter or poultry-processing plant covered by this law must keep its premises, facilities, and equipment in a certain condition. It must also run its operations using sanitary practices. The Secretary sets these requirements by regulation. The goal is to stop "adulterated" poultry products — products that fail to meet the law's safety standards — from entering commerce, moving through commerce, or burdening commerce. (b) Refusal of inspection: The Secretary must refuse to inspect any plant whose premises, facilities, or equipment — or the way they are operated — do not meet these requirements. Without inspection, the plant cannot legally process poultry for commerce under this law.
