Finished product sampling procedures

1. All finished product that is to be sampled or tested for regulatory purposes must be collected by the commissioner. Samples must be collected randomly and the older code date must be selected before a more recent code date. 2.

Finished product chosen for sampling must be stored in a refrigerated sample container that maintains the samples at thirty-two to forty degrees Fahrenheit [0 to 4.4 degrees Celsius]. A temperature control sample must be selected for each area or cooler where finished milk product is stored. The temperature control must be opened and a temperature obtained using a certified thermometer. The temperature control must be closed and sealed to prevent leakage during transport.

Samples must be taken at the plant of origin. History: Effective October 1, 2009. General Authority: NDCC 4.1-25-50 Law Implemented: NDCC 4.1-25-26
