                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
                   CHAPTER 15--EGG PRODUCTS INSPECTION
 
Sec. 1036. Pasteurization and labeling of egg products at 
        official plants
        

(a) Contents of label

    Egg products inspected at any official plant under the authority of 
this chapter and found to be not adulterated shall be pasteurized before 
they leave the official plant, except as otherwise permitted by 
regulations of the Secretary, and shall at the time they leave the 
official plant, bear in distinctly legible form on their shipping 
containers or immediate containers, or both, when required by 
regulations of the Secretary, the official inspection legend and 
official plant number, of the plant where the products were processed, 
and such other information as the Secretary may require by regulations 
to describe the products adequately and to assure that they will not 
have false or misleading labeling.

(b) False or misleading or use of nonapproved labeling or containers; 
        determination by Secretary; procedures applicable; appeal

    No labeling or container shall be used for egg products at official 
plants if it is false or misleading or has not been approved as required 
by the regulations of the Secretary. If the Secretary has reason to 
believe that any labeling or the size or form of any container in use or 
proposed for use with respect to egg products at any official plant is 
false or misleading in any particular, he may direct that such use be 
withheld unless the labeling or container is modified in such manner as 
he may prescribe so that it will not be false or misleading. If the 
person using or proposing to use the labeling or container does not 
accept the determination of the Secretary, such person may request a 
hearing, but the use of the labeling or container shall, if the 
Secretary so directs, be withheld pending hearing and final 
determination by the Secretary. Any such determination by the Secretary 
shall be conclusive unless, within thirty days after receipt of notice 
of such final determination, the person adversely affected thereby 
appeals to the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which 
such person has its principal place of business or to the United States 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The provisions of 
section 194 of title 7, shall be applicable to appeals taken under this 
section.
