The Secretary may by regulations prescribe conditions under which
carcasses, parts of carcasses, meat, and meat food products of
cattle, sheep, swine, goats, horses, mules, or other equines,
capable of use as human food, shall be stored or otherwise handled
by any person, firm, or corporation engaged in the business of
buying, selling, freezing, storing, or transporting, in or for
commerce, or importing, such articles, whenever the Secretary deems
such action necessary to assure that such articles will not be
adulterated or misbranded when delivered to the consumer. Violation
of any such regulation is prohibited. However, such regulations
shall not apply to the storage or handling of such articles at any
retail store or other establishment in any State or organized
Territory that would be subject to this section only because of
purchases in commerce, if the storage and handling of such articles
at such establishment is regulated under the laws of the State or
Territory in which such establishment is located, in a manner which
the Secretary, after consultation with the appropriate advisory
committee provided for in section 661 of this title, determines is
adequate to effectuate the purposes of this section.
