establishments - Condemnation - Appeals.
A.  For the purpose of preventing the entry into or flow or
movement in intrastate commerce of any poultry product which is
capable of use as human food and is adulterated, the Board shall,
where and to the extent considered by it necessary, cause to be made
by inspectors antemortem inspection of poultry in each official
establishment engaged in processing poultry or poultry products
solely for intrastate commerce.
B.  The Board, whenever processing operations are being
conducted, shall cause to be made by inspectors postmortem
inspection of the carcass of each bird processed, and at any time
such quarantine, segregation and reinspection as it deems necessary
of poultry and poultry products capable of use as human food in each
official establishment engaged in processing poultry or poultry
products solely for intrastate commerce.
C.  All poultry carcasses and parts thereof and other poultry
products found to be adulterated shall be condemned and shall, if no
appeal be taken from such determination of condemnation, be
destroyed for human food purposes under the provision of an
inspector. Provided, that carcasses, parts, and products which may
by reprocessing be made not adulterated, need not be so condemned

and destroyed if so reprocessed under the supervision of an
inspector and thereafter found to be not adulterated.  If an appeal
be taken from such determination, the carcasses, parts, or products
shall be appropriately marked and segregated pending completion of
an appeal inspection, which appeal shall be at the cost of the
appellant if the Board determines that the appeal is frivolous.  If
the determination of condemnation is sustained, the carcasses,
parts, and products shall be destroyed for food purposes under the
supervision of an inspector.
