Sec. 42-115h. Inspection of packaged commodities. Off-sale orders. The commissioner shall, from time to time, weigh or measure and inspect packages or amounts
of commodities kept, offered or exposed for sale, sold or in the process of delivery to
determine whether the same contain the amounts represented and whether they are kept,
offered or exposed for sale, or sold, in accordance with law. When such packages or
amounts of commodities are found not to contain the amounts represented, or are found
to be kept, offered or exposed for sale in violation of law, the commissioner may order
them off sale and may so mark or tag them as to show them to be illegal. In carrying
out the provisions of this section, the commissioner may employ recognized sampling
procedures under which the compliance of a given lot of packages will be determined
on the basis of the result obtained on a sample selected from and representative of such
lot. No person shall (1) sell, or keep, offer or expose for sale, in intrastate commerce,
any package or amount of commodity that has been ordered off sale or marked or tagged
as provided in this section unless and until such package or amount of commodity has
been brought into full compliance with all legal requirements, or (2) dispose of any
package or amount of commodity that has been ordered off sale or marked or tagged
as provided in this section and that has not been brought into compliance with legal
requirements, in any manner except with the specific approval of the commissioner.
