[F62The appropriate authorities] may choose not to carry out selective checks on products not subject to specific marketing standards, based on a risk analysis.

Where the goods can neither be brought into conformity nor sent to animal feed, industrial processing or any other non-food use, the inspection body may, if necessary, request traders to take adequate measures in order to ensure that the products concerned are not marketed.
Traders shall supply all information deemed necessary by [F93the appropriate authorities] for the application of this paragraph.
