False or misleading markings - Hearings and appeals.

(a) When any meat or meat food product prepared for intrastate

commerce which has been inspected as hereinbefore provided and

marked "Oklahoma Inspected and Passed" shall be placed or packed in

any can, pot, tin, canvas, or other receptacle or covering in any

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 2. Agriculture Page 267

establishment where inspection under the provisions of this act is

maintained, the person, firm, or corporation preparing said product

shall cause a label to be attached to said can, pot, tin, canvas, or

other receptable or covering, under supervision of an inspector,

which label shall state that the contents thereof have been

"Oklahoma 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

receptable 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 said 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 Board may require, the information

required under paragraph (k) of Section 1 of this act.

(c) The Board, whenever it 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 Sections 1 through 20 of this

act; (2) definitions and standards of identity or composition for

articles subject to Sections 1 through 16 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 Board 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 Sections 1 through 16 of 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 Board are permitted.

(e) If the Board 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 Sections 1 through 16 is

false or misleading in any particular, it may direct that such use

be withheld, unless the marking, labeling, or container is modified

in such manner as it 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

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 2. Agriculture Page 268

determination of the Board, such person, firm, or corporation may

request a hearing, but the use of the marking, labeling, or

container shall, if the Board so directs, be withheld pending

hearing and final determination by the Board. Any such

determination by the Board 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 District Court of Oklahoma County.
