Article 5. Inspection And Certification By The Director of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 16. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 5.

The director shall not enforce this article during the period that any marketing order or commission covering the same subject is in effect.

The director shall inspect deliveries of tomatoes for processing purposes.

If the director finds that the tomatoes which are being delivered conform with the standards prescribed by regulations, the director shall issue a certificate to that effect.

If the director finds that the tomatoes delivered do not conform with the standards prescribed by regulations, the director shall issue a notice of rejection.

The director is not required to perform inspection at any place where adequate inspection facilities are not provided.
