Sec. 318.15  Tagging chemicals, preservatives, cereals, spices, etc., 

``U.S. retained.''



    When any chemical, preservative, cereal, spice, or other substance 

is intended for use in an official establishment, it shall be examined 

by a Program employee and if found to be unfit or otherwise unacceptable 

for the use intended, or if final decision regarding acceptance is 

deferred pending laboratory or other examination, the employee shall 

attach a ``U.S. retained'' tag to the substance or container thereof. 

The substance so tagged shall be kept separate from other substances as 

the circuit supervisor may require and shall not be used until the tag 

is removed, and such removal shall be made only by a Program employee 

after a finding that the substance can be accepted, or, in the case of 

an unacceptable substance, when it is removed from the establishment.
