(225 ILCS 470/12) (from Ch. 147, par. 112)
Sec. 12.
The Director shall from time to time weigh or measure and inspect
packages or amounts of commodities held, offered or exposed for sale or
sold or in the process of delivery, to determine whether they contain the
amounts represented and are being held, offered or exposed for sale or were
sold in accordance with law. When such packages or amounts of commodities
are thus determined not to contain the amounts represented or are found to
be kept, offered or exposed for sale in violation of law, the Director may
restrain such offer, exposure or sale by order and may so mark or identify
them to indicate the illegality thereof. In carrying out the provisions of
this Section, the Director may employ recognized sampling procedures under
which the compliance of a given lot of packages will be determined on the
basis of the result obtained on a sample selected from and representative
of such lot. No person shall (1) sell, or keep, offer or expose for sale in
intrastate commerce any package or amount of commodity that has been
ordered off sale or marked or identified as provided in this Section unless
and until such package or amount of commodity fully complies with all legal
requirements, or (2) dispose of any package or amount of commodity that has
been ordered off sale or marked or identified as provided in this Section
and that does not comply with legal requirements in any manner except with
the specific approval of the Director
