Section 1370.9 - Sampling Loads at Highway Inspection Stations

The Department of Food and Agriculture reserves the right to choose containers of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and honey from various parts of each load to be inspected for compliance at highway inspection stations. The purpose is to determine, by such sampling, whether the products within those containers inspected comply with the requirements as provided in Division 17, Food and Agricultural Code, and Title 3, California Administrative Code.

Inspection will be made of two or three containers selected at random from various parts of the load. If all the requirements, as described in the above-named codes are safely met, it is usually sufficient. Additional containers may be inspected because the inspector must use his judgment, considering the circumstances which prevail at the time of inspection, and be satisfied that the load meets the requirements.
