in the preparation of meat or poultry products, or medical
products shall be retained in such a manner as to preserve
their identity until after the postmortem examination has
been completed. Carcasses and parts thereof found to be
sound, healthful, and wholesome after inspection and
otherwise fit for human food shall be passed and may be
marked in the following manner: "Illinois Inspected and
Passed" or with the inspection legend of an approved
municipal inspection department to which has been added the
words "Illinois Approved". These marks may also include any
number given the establishment by the Department. All animal
carcasses or parts thereof which are found on postmortem
inspection to be unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome,
adulterated, or otherwise unfit for human food shall be
marked conspicuously by the inspector at the time of
inspection with the words: "Illinois Inspected and
Condemned", or with the condemned brand of an approved
municipal inspection department. All poultry carcasses or
parts thereof which are found on postmortem inspection to be
unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, adulterated or otherwise
unfit for human food shall be condemned by depositing each
carcass or part thereof in a suitable, clearly marked
"Condemned" container. All condemned carcasses and parts of
animals or poultry under the supervision of an inspector
shall be rendered unfit for human consumption in a manner
approved by the Director. All unborn or stillborn animals

slaughtered or where small quantities of meat or poultry
products are prepared, the Director may designate the hours
of the day and the days of the week during which such
establishments may be operated. The management of an official
establishment, an importer, or an exporter, desiring to work
under conditions which will require the services of an
inspector employee of the Department on any Saturday, Sunday,
or holiday, or for more than an approved established work day
on any other day shall, sufficiently in advance of the period
of overtime, request the Regional Administrator to furnish
inspection service during such overtime period, and, if
approved, shall be allowed inspection on an overtime basis
pay the Department a fee as set forth by regulation, to
reimburse the Department for the cost of the inspection
services so furnished. Holidays will be those established by
the Illinois Department of Central Management Services.

to this Act is false or misleading in any particular, he may
direct that the use be withheld unless the marking, labeling,
or container is modified in a manner as he may prescribe so

or corporation using or proposing to use the marking,
labeling, or container does not accept the determination of
the Director, the person, firm, or corporation may request a
hearing, but the use of the marking, labeling, or container
shall, if the Director so directs, be withheld pending
hearing and final determination by the Director. Any
determination by the Director shall be conclusive unless

determination, the person, firm, or corporation adversely
affected appeals to the appropriate authority.

(1) Bait selling.
(A) Disparage or degrade any product
advertised or offered for sale by the seller, or
display any product or depiction thereof to any
buyer in order to induce the purchase of another
product, or represent that a product is for sale
when the representation is used primarily to sell
another product.
(B) Substitute any product for that ordered by
the buyer without the buyer's consent.
(C) Fail to have available a sufficient
quantity of any product represented as being for
sale to meet reasonably anticipated demands.
(2) Price representation.
(A) Use any price list related to the seller's
food plan that contains prices other than the
seller's current billing prices.
(B) Misrepresent the amount of money that the
buyer will save on purchases of any products that
are not of the same grade or quality.
(C) Fail to disclose fully and conspicuously
in at least 10 point type any charge for cutting,
wrapping, freezing, delivery or other services.
(D) Represent the price of any meat product to
be offered for sale in bundles in units larger than
one pound in terms other than price per single pound
for meat products in at least 10 point type except
when the advertisement or offer for sale pertains to
containers of meat products weighing 15 pounds or
less.
(3) Product Representation.
(A) Misrepresent the cut, grade, brand or
trade name, or weight or measure of any product.
(B) Use the abbreviation "U.S." in describing
a product not graded by the United States Department
of Agriculture, except that product may be described
as "U.S. Inspected" when true.
(C) Misrepresent a product through the use of
any term similar to a government grade.

the correct government grade for any product if the
product is represented as having been graded.
(G) Fail to disclose fully and conspicuously
that the yield of consumable meat from any carcass
or part of a carcass will be less than the weight of
the carcass or part thereof. The seller shall, for
each carcass or part of carcass advertised, use
separately and distinctly (in at least 10 point
type) the following disclosure: "Sold hanging
weight subject to cutting loss".
(H) Misrepresent the amount or proportion of
retail cuts that a carcass or part of carcass will
yield.
(I) (Blank). Fail to furnish the buyer with a
complete and accurate signed statement at the time
of delivery, showing the net weight of meat
delivered to the buyer. If weighed with immediate
wrappings, this fact shall be stated. Both the
actual net weight of the product prior to cutting
and trimming, and the delivered weight shall be
disclosed to the buyer in writing at the time of
delivery. This section shall apply separately to
each carcass or part of carcass sold on any
individual order.
(J) Fail to disclose fully and conspicuously
whether a quarter of a carcass is the front or hind
quarter, and "quarters" or "sides" or "halves" must
consist of only anatomically natural proportions of
cuts from front or hind quarters. A "pre-trimmed
side", "packer-trimmed side" or similar term
describing part of a carcass shall not be

used, provided the buyer is informed that the
weights are approximate, the weights are so
identified on any purchase order or contract, and
the seller agrees with the buyer, in writing, to
make a cash refund or grant a credit on delivery for
the difference between actual weight and the
approximate weight on which the sale was made.
(L) Use the words, "bundle", "sample order",
"split side", or words of similar import to describe
a quantity of meat or poultry unless the seller

product, or service combined with or conditioned on
the purchase of any other product or service unless
the additional product or service is accurately
described including, whenever applicable, grade, net
weight or measure, type, and brand or trade name.
The words "free", "bonus", or other words of similar
import shall not be used in any advertisement unless
the advertisement clearly and conspicuously sets
forth the total price or amount that must be paid to
entitle the buyer to the additional product or
service.
(N) Misrepresent the breed, origin, or diet of
slaughtered animals or parts thereof offered for
sale. Sellers making these claims shall have
written records available to substantiate the fact.
