“9.— (1) An authorised officer of a food authority or a port health authority may at all reasonable times inspect any food intended for human consumption which —

(a) has been placed on the market; or

(b) is in the possession of, or has been deposited with or consigned to, any person for the purpose of placing it on the market,

and subsections (2) to (7) below apply where, on such an inspection, it appears to the authorised officer that the placing on the market of any food contravenes regulation 3(a) of the Contaminants in Food (Wales) Regulations 2005.

(2) The authorised officer may either —

(a) give notice to the person in charge of the food that, until the notice is withdrawn, the food or any specified portion of it —

(i) is not to be used for human consumption, and

(ii) either is not to be removed or is to be removed to a place at which there are facilities to carry out the sampling required by Directive 98/53/EC, Directive 2001/22/EC, Directive 2002/26/EC, Directive 2002/69/EC, Directive 2003/78/EC and Directive 2004/16/EC, as appropriate; or

(b) seize the food and remove it in order to have it dealt with by a justice of the peace.

(3) Where the authorised officer exercises the power conferred by subsection (2)(a) above, he or she, as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 21 days, is to determine whether or not he or she is satisfied that the food complies with the requirements of regulation 3(a) of the above Regulations, as appropriate and —

(a) if he or she is so satisfied, forthwith withdraw the notice;

(b) if he or she is not so satisfied, seize the food and remove it in order to have it dealt with by a justice of the peace.

(4) Where an authorised officer exercises the powers conferred by subsection (2)(b) or (3)(b) above, he or she is to inform the person in charge of the food of his or her intention to have it dealt with by a justice of the peace and —

(a) any person who under regulation 3(a) of the above Regulations might be liable to a prosecution in respect of the food is, if he or she attends before the justice of the peace by whom the food falls to be dealt with, entitled to be heard and to call witnesses; and

(b) that justice of the peace may, but need not, be a member of the court before which any person is proceeded against for an offence consisting of a contravention of regulation 3(a) of the above Regulations in relation to that food.

(5) If it appears to a justice of the peace, on the basis of such evidence as he or she considers appropriate in the circumstances, that any food falling to be dealt with by him or her under this section fails to comply with the requirements of regulation 3(a) of the above Regulations he or she is to condemn the food and order —

(a) the food to be destroyed or to be so disposed of as to prevent it from being used for human consumption; and

(b) any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the destruction or disposal to be defrayed by the owner of the food.

(6) If a notice under subsection (2)(a) above is withdrawn, or the justice of the peace by whom any food falls to be dealt with under this section refuses to condemn it, the food authority or, as the case may be, port health authority, is to compensate the owner of the food for any depreciation in its value resulting from the action taken by the authorised officer.

(7) Any disputed question as to the right to or the amount of any compensation payable under subsection (6) above is to be determined by arbitration.

(8) Any person who knowingly contravenes the requirements of a notice under paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.”.
