discovers the violation of any item of grade requirement, he or she shall make
a second inspection after a lapse of such time as he or she deems necessary for
the defect to be remedied, but not before the lapse of three days, and the
second inspection shall be used in determining compliance with the grade
requirements of this chapter. Whenever there is any violation of the
same requirement of this chapter on ((such reinspection shall call for degrading
or summary suspension of the license in accordance with the requirements of
chapter 34.05 RCW)) the second inspection, the director may initiate
proceedings to degrade, suspend the license, or assess a civil penalty.

((Except
as provided hereinafter, tuberculin test of all herds and additions thereto
shall be made before any milk therefrom is sold, and at least once every twelve
months thereafter, by an accredited and licensed veterinarian approved by the
state department of agriculture or veterinarian employed by the bureau of
animal industry, United States department of agriculture. Said tests shall be
made and the reactors disposed of in accordance with the requirements approved
by the director for accredited herds. A certificate signed by the veterinarian
or attested to by the director and filed with the director shall be evidence of
the above test: PROVIDED, That in modified accredited counties in which the
modified accredited area plan is applied to the dairy herds, the modified
accredited area system approved by the director shall be accepted in lieu of
annual testing.
No
fluid milk or cream designated or represented to be "grade A" fluid
milk or cream shall be sold, offered or exposed for sale which has been
produced from a herd of cows, one or more of which are infected with
brucellosis at the time such milk is produced, or from animals in such herd
which have not been blood tested for brucellosis at least once during the
preceding calendar year, or milk ring tested for brucellosis at least
semiannually during the preceding year. The results of a test for brucellosis
by the state or federal laboratory of a blood sample drawn by an official
veterinarian, shall be prima facie evidence of the infection or noninfection of
the animal or herds: PROVIDED, That in lieu thereof, two official negative
milk ring tests for brucellosis not less than six months apart may be accepted
as such evidence. All herds of cows, the fluid milk or cream from which is
designated or represented to be "grade A" fluid milk or cream shall
be blood tested for brucellosis annually or milk ring tested for brucellosis
semiannually. Such herds showing any reaction to the milk ring test shall be
blood tested and all reactors to the blood test removed from the herd and
disposed of within fifteen days from the date they are tagged and branded. The
remaining animals in the infected herd shall be retested at not less than
thirty-day nor more than sixty-day intervals from the date of the first test:
PROVIDED, That herds that have been officially brucellosis adult vaccinated
shall be retested not less than sixty days nor more than one hundred fifty days
after being so vaccinated and such herds shall be retested and released from
quarantine at intervals and under conditions prescribed by the director. A
series of retests, with removal and disposition of reacting animals, shall be
continued until the herd shall have passed two successive tests in which no
reactors are found. If upon a final test, not less than six months nor more
than seven months from the date of the last negative test, no reactors are
found in the herd, it shall be deemed a disease free herd. Results of official
blood or milk ring tests shall be conspicuously displayed in the milk house.
All
milk and milk products consumed raw shall be from herds or additions thereto
which have been found free from brucellosis, as shown by blood serum tests or
other approved tests for agglutinins against brucella organisms made in a
laboratory approved by the director. All such herds shall be retested at least
every twelve months and all reactors removed from the herd. If a herd is found
to have one or more animals positive to the brucellosis test, all milk from
that herd is to be pasteurized until the three consecutive brucellosis tests
obtained at thirty-day intervals between each test are found to be negative. A
certificate identifying each animal by number and signed by the laboratory
making the test shall be evidence of the above test.))
(1) All milking cows, goats, and other mammals must meet the animal health requirements established by the state veterinarian under the authority of chapter 16.36 RCW.
(2) Milk or milk products from cows, goats, and other mammals intended for consumption in the raw state must be from a herd which is tested negative within the previous twelve months for brucellosis, tuberculosis, and any other disease the director may designate by rule. Additions to the herd must be tested negative for the diseases within the previous thirty days before introduction into the herd. The state veterinarian shall direct all testing procedures in accordance with state and national standards for animal disease eradication.
(3)
Cows ((which show an extensive or entire induration of one or more quarters
of the udder upon physical examination)), goats, and other mammals
showing chronic mastitis, whether ((secreting)) producing
abnormal milk or not, shall be permanently excluded from the milking herd.

stringy, or otherwise abnormal milk, but with only slight ((induration))
inflammation of the udder shall be excluded from the herd until

other diseases such tests and examinations as the director may require after
consultation with state livestock sanitary officials shall be made at intervals
and by methods prescribed by him.))

((No
milk or milk products shall be sold to the final consumer or to restaurants,
soda fountains, grocery stores, or similar establishments except grade A
pasteurized milk, or grade A raw milk.)) The director may revoke the
license of any ((milk distributor,)) milk processing plant((,))
or producer whose product fails to qualify as grade A pasteurized or grade A
raw, or in lieu thereof may degrade ((his or her)) the product to
grade C and permit its sale as other than fluid milk or grade A milk products
during a period not exceeding thirty days. In the event of an emergency, the
director may permit the sale of grade C milk for more than thirty days.
