When any chemical, preservative, cereal, spice, or other substance is intended for use in an official establishment it shall be examined by an inspector and if found to be unfit or unacceptable for the use intended, or if final decision regarding acceptance is deferred pending laboratory or other examination, the inspector shall attach an "Oklahoma Retained" tag to the substance or container. The substance tagged shall be kept separate from other substances as the inspector in charge may require and shall not be used until the tag is removed, and the removal shall be made only by an inspector after a finding that the substance can be accepted, or, in the case of an unacceptable substance, when it is removed from the establishment.
