Section 5

An authorized officer may at any place demand and select and take or obtain samples for the purpose of analysis without payment from any manufacturer making food for sale or from any importer of any food or from his agent or servant.

Any such authorized officer may require the person or his agent or servant to show and permit the inspection of the package in which such food is at the time kept and to take therefrom the samples demanded.

Where any food is kept for retail sale in an unopened package, no person shall be required by any authorized officer to sell less than the whole of the contents of such package.

Any person who refuses or neglects to comply with any demand or requisition made by an authorized officer in pursuance of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to fine or to both.
