California Food and Agricultural Code Section 42794

CA Food & Agri Code § 42794 (2017)  

Any lot of fruits, nuts, or vegetables which bears or is accompanied by a certificate of inspection that readily identifies such lot which was issued by any commissioner or the qualified representative of the commissioner shall not be rejected from transportation or sale within this state for the purported violation of any provision of this division.

Such certified lot of fruits, nuts, or vegetables may, however, be held for inspection at any time by any enforcing officer who holds a valid standardization certificate. If such enforcing officer shall find that the certified lot of fruits, nuts, or vegetables is in violation of any provision of this division he may appeal to the director who shall within 24 hours cause a reinspection to be made of the certified lot of fruits, nuts or vegetables. The lot of certified fruits, nuts, or vegetables shall be released or rejected in accordance with the findings upon such reinspection.
