The procedures for inspection shall be in accordance with regulations of the department. Upon request by the department to a dairy establishment operator or to his employee or agent, he shall permit the department official, upon proper identification, to enter the premises, inspect all parts of the premises and inspect and copy any records of purchases by the dairy establishment.
