Section 1260 - Reinspection of Products(a) Only inspected and passed poultry product may be brought into an official establishment and then only if the container of such product is marked for identification in the manner prescribed in Section 1256 (c) and the product is reinspected by a poultry meat inspector at the time it is brought into such establishment. Upon reinspection, if any such product or portion thereof is found to be unsound, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit for human food, such product or portion thereof, shall be condemned and shall receive such treatment as that provided in section 1254.(b) Any product which is prepared under inspection in an official establishment shall be inspected in such plant as often as the inspector deems necessary in order to ascertain whether the product is sound, wholesome, and fit for human food at the time such product leaves such establishment. Upon inspection, if any of the product or portion thereof is found to be unsound, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit for human food, the product or portion thereof shall be condemned and shall receive such treatment as that provided in section 1254. When a plant operator indicates that he wishes to salvage or endeavor to salvage portions of such product, part of which is condemnable, the inspector shall attach a "State of California Rejected/Retained" tag thereto, notify the establishment operator of the tagging and make necessary arrangements with the establishment operator so that an inspector may be present when the product so tagged is to be processed for salvage or otherwise handled. No tagged product or product in containers so tagged shall be reprocessed or removed from the plant or containers until the "State of California Rejected/Retained" tag is removed by an inspector and the tag shall indicate the name and retained tags shall not be removed or destroyed other than by an inspector.(c) All substances and ingredients used in the manufacture or preparation of any product shall be clean, sound, wholesome, and fit for human food.Cal.
