For the purposes hereinbefore set forth the Board shall cause to
be made by inspectors appointed for that purpose, as hereinafter
provided, a postmortem examination and inspection of the carcasses
and parts thereof of all cattle, bison, sheep, swine, goats, horses,
mules, and other equines, capable of use as human food, to be
prepared at any slaughtering, meat-canning, salting, packing,
rendering, or similar establishment in this state in which such
articles are prepared for intrastate commerce; and the carcasses and
parts thereof of all such animals found to be not adulterated shall
be marked, stamped, tagged, or labeled, as "Inspected and Passed";
and said inspectors shall label, mark, stamp, or tag, as "Inspected
and Condemned", all carcasses and parts thereof of animals found to
be adulterated; and all carcasses and parts thereof thus inspected
and condemned shall be destroyed for food purposes by the said
establishment in the presence of an inspector, and the Board may
remove inspectors from any such establishment which fails to so
destroy any such condemned carcass or part thereof, and said
inspectors, after said first inspection, shall, when they deem it
necessary, reinspect said carcasses or parts thereof to determine
whether, since the first inspection, the same have become
adulterated and if any carcass or any part thereof shall, upon
examination and inspection subsequent to the first examination and
inspection, be found to be adulterated, it shall be destroyed for
food purposes by the said establishment in the presence of an
inspector, and the Board may remove inspectors from any
establishment which fails to destroy any such condemned carcass or
part thereof.
