S.L. 449.32 Art. 9Mode of sampling.

An authorised officer may take from any place:

(a) a "selective sample" which is a sample collected either to demonstrate or to document unsatisfactory conditions observed during inspection, or to provide a unit of food suspected to be unsatisfactory, for laboratory analysis; and a selective sample shall be as representative of the entire consignment, shipment or lot from which it is collected as possible and its size should be snfficient to allow repeat analysis, if necessary;

(b) an "objective sample" which is a sample collected from a lot of food on a routine basis, for random surveillance, collection of data for a specific purpose, or monitoring to determine whether the food is unsatisfactory for any reason; and an obiective sample shall be a sample that need not be representative but is sufficient for its examination, analysis or production as evidence or as otherwise established by the Act.
