(a) Any inspector shall be permitted to enter any establishment where any biological product is prepared, at any hour during the day or night, and shall be permitted to inspect, without previous notification, the entire premises of the establishment, including all buildings, compartments, and other places, all biological products, and organisms and vectors in the establishment, and all materials and equipment, such as chemicals, instruments, apparatus, and the like, and the methods used in the manufacture of, and all records maintained relative to, biological products produced at such establishment. (b) Each inspector will have in his or her possession a numbered USDA badge or identification card. Either shall be sufficient identification to entitle him/her to admittance at all regular entrances and to all parts of such establishment and premises and to any place at any time for the purpose of making an inspection pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section. [52 FR 30134, Aug. 13, 1987] Any biological product, the container of which bears a United States veterinary license number or a United States veterinary permit number or other mark required by these regulations may be inspected at any time or place. If, as a result of such inspection, it appears that any such product is worthless, contaminated, dangerous or harmful, the Secretary shall give notice thereof to the manufacturer or importer and to any jobbers, wholesalers, dealers or other persons known to have any of such product in their possession, and may proceed against such product pursuant to the provisions of part 118 of this subchapter. Unless and until the Secretary shall otherwise direct, no persons so notified shall thereafter sell, barter, or exchange any such product in any place under the jurisdiction of the United States or ship or deliver for shipment any such product in or from any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia. However, failure to receive such notice shall not excuse any person from compliance with the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act. [52 FR 30134, Aug. 13, 1987]
