The chief veterinary meat inspector or his deputies are authorized to inspect the premises of all other slaughtering establishments operating without state meat inspection service at any time during their slaughtering operations. At least two inspections shall be made each year and additional inspections may be made if it is deemed necessary. If any slaughtering establishment is found to be unsanitary or conducting its slaughtering operations in an unsanitary or unwholesome manner so as to endanger the public health, or slaughtering animals unfit for human consumption, the associate director may suspend or revoke the license to slaughter as provided in section 3-1206. This section shall not in any way alter the powers of the department of health services in connection with slaughtering establishments.
