(1) An authorised officer of a food authority shall inspect from time to time and at least once every two years every dairy in the area of that food authority to ascertain whether such dairy is complying with these Regulations and may examine any cattle therein.
(2) When an authorised officer of a food authority is of the opinion that any milk consigned from the area of another food authority is contaminated or impure, or when he has reasonable ground for believing that any milk so consigned is likely to cause any infectious disease or other illness, he may inspect the dairy from which such milk has been consigned and examine any cattle therein, and the person having charge of that dairy and his employees shall give all reasonable facilities and assistance to such officer for such inspection and examination.
