Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Products passed for cooking, and beef
			 that is to be refrigerated to destroy cysticerci, may be shipped loose from one
			 state-inspected establishment to any other state-inspected establishment, for
			 further handling in accordance with OAR 603-029-1100 to 603-029-1190, in
			 railroad cars, trucks, or other means of conveyance sealed with the official
			 seal of the Department as prescribed in OAR 603-029-1455: Provided, That in the
			 case of railroad cars, the receiving establishment has railroad facilities for
			 unloading the products directly into the establishment.
(2) When such restricted product is shipped
			 from one state-inspected establishment to another state-inspected establishment
			 in the same railroad car or other means of conveyance with other product, such
			 restricted product shall be packed in individual closed containers as
			 hereinafter provided. Containers shall be sealed by firmly applying a pressure
			 sensitive tape around each container in two directions and stamping the
			 intersection of the tape with the marking device described in OAR
			 603-029-0610(1) for use on burlap, muslin, etc. (2 1/2 inch rubber brand). Such
			 tape must possess the adhesive property to actually remove a portion of the
			 container surface when the tape is removed. Alternatively, an inelastic,
			 nonmetallic strap which will retain a legible imprint of the marking device (2
			 1/2 -inch rubber brand) may be used. The imprint of the marking device shall be
			 placed partially on the strap and partially on the container. Such restricted
			 product shall be marked "Oregon passed for cooking" or "pork product __ °F.
			 __days refrigeration" or "beef passed for refrigeration," as the case may be.
			 In addition, an "Oregon retained" tag shall be securely affixed to each
			 container of product passed for cooking and of beef passed for refrigeration.
			 The means of conveyance shall not be sealed unless at least 25 percent of the
			 other product in the vehicle is unmarked. For each consignment there shall be
			 promptly issued and forwarded by the inspector to the supervisor at
			 destination, a report on the form entitled "Notice of Unmarked Meats Shipped in
			 Sealed Cars," appropriately modified to show the character of the containers,
			 and that the contents are restricted. A duplicate copy shall be retained in the
			 Department files.
(3) When products
			 are offered for transportation under this rule, the initial carrier shall
			 require and the shipper shall make in duplicate and deliver to the carrier one
			 copy of a certificate in the form set out in OAR 603-029-1410(2). Certificates
			 in this form or copies thereof need not be forwarded to the Department, but the
			 original of the certificate shall be retained by the carrier and a copy shall
			 be retained by the shipper in accordance with OAR 603-029-1300 to 603-029-1330.
			 If the shipper is also the carrier, he shall nevertheless execute and retain
			 the certificate in accordance with OAR 603-029-1300 to 603-029-1330.
