in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can write rules for how poultry products must be stored and handled so they stay safe and correctly labeled by the time they reach consumers, and breaking those rules is against the law. The Secretary must also issue any other rules needed to carry out the poultry-inspection law, and must let interested people speak in person when proposed rules are being considered.

(a) Storage and handling of poultry products; violation of regulations. The Secretary can write regulations setting conditions for how poultry products fit for human food must be stored or handled by anyone who buys, sells, freezes, stores, transports, or imports them for commerce — whenever the Secretary decides this is needed to make sure the products are not "adulterated" or "misbranded" by the time they reach the consumer. Breaking one of these regulations is against the law. (b) Other necessary rules and regulations. The Secretary must also issue whatever other rules are needed to carry out this chapter. (c) Oral presentation of views. When applying section 553(c) of title 5 to a proposed rule under this chapter, everyone with an interest must be given a chance to present their views out loud, not just in writing.
