§ 4.1-31-05 — False or misleading marks, labels, and containers

A person may not sell in intrastate commerce any meat food product subject to inspection
under this chapter under a name, mark, or label that is false or misleading, or in a container of a
misleading form or size. If the commissioner has reason to believe that a mark, label, or
container is false or misleading, the commissioner may direct that its use be withheld unless the
mark, label, or container is modified in a manner approved by the commissioner. If the person
using or proposing to use the mark, label, or container does not accept the determination of the
commissioner, the person may request a hearing. The commissioner may direct that the mark,
label, or container not be used pending a hearing and final determination by the commissioner.
A determination by the commissioner is conclusive unless the person adversely affected
appeals to the district court within thirty days after receiving the notice of final determination.
