False or Deceptive Names.—No meat or meat food products shall be sold or offered for sale by any person, firm, or corporation in interstate or foreign commerce under any false or deceptive name; but established trade name or names which are usual to such products and which are not false and deceptive, and which shall be approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, are permitted. Trade labels which are false or deceptive in any particular shall not be permitted. A meat food product, whether composed of one or more ingredients, shall not be named on a trade label with a name stating or purporting to show that the said meat food product is a substance which is not the principal ingredient contained therein, even though such name be an established trade name.
TAGGING REINSPECTED MEATS AND MEAT FOOD PRODUCTS.
Regulation 34.
Upon all meats or meat food products, which are suspected on reinspection of being unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit for human food, or upon the containers thereof, there shall be placed by a Department employee at the time of reinspection the “U. S. Retained” tags hereinbefore described. The employee who affixes the tag shall send the numbered stub with his report to the inspector in charge. These tags shall accompany the said meats or meat food products to the retaining room or other special place for final inspection. When the final inspection is made, if the meat or meat food product be condemned the “U. S. Retained” tag shall be stamped “U. S. Inspected and Condemned,” and shall accompany the condemned meat or meat food product to the tank.
Immediately before the meat or meat food product is tanked the employee supervising that operation shall write or stamp the word “Tanked” and the date upon the said tag, and sign his name thereto, and forward the tag to the inspector in charge with his report. If, however, upon final inspection the meat or meat food product is passed for food, the inspector shall stamp the retained tag “U. S. Inspected and Passed,” and return the tag with his report to the inspector in charge.
REFERENCE TO UNITED STATES INSPECTION.
Regulation 35.
Except as provided in these regulations, no reference to United States inspection shall appear upon any meat or meat food product or the container thereof.
