FOOD AND DRUGS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1958 - SECT 11

Power to examine food in course of transit.

11.(1) If an authorised officer of a [district council] has reason to suspect
that any vehicle or container contains any food which is intended for sale for
human consumption, or is in the course of delivery after sale for
human consumption, he may examine the contents of the vehicle or of the
container, and for that purpose may, if necessary, detain the vehicle or the
container, and, if he finds any food which appears to him to be intended for,
but unfit for, human consumption, he may deal with it as food falling under
sub-section (1) of section nine and sub-sections (2) to (5) of that section
shall apply accordingly.

(2) Where the duties of an officer of customs and excise with respect to any
goods have not been wholly discharged, nothing in this section shall authorise
the examination of those goods without his consent.
