# §381.34. Financial interest of inspectors.

- (a) No inspector shall inspect any poultry or poultry product in which he, his spouse, minor child, partner, organization in which he is serving as officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee, or any person with whom he is negotiating or has any arrangement concerning prospective employment, is financially interested.
- (b) All inspectors are subject to statutory restrictions with respect to political activities; e.g., 5 U.S.C. [7324](/usc/5/7324.md) and [1502](/usc/5/1502.md).
- (c) Violation of the provisions of [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section or the provisions of applicable statutes referenced in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section will constitute grounds for dismissal in the case of appointees and for revocation of licenses in the case of licensees.
- (d) Inspectors are subject to all applicable provisions of law and regulations and instructions of the Department and the Food Safety and Inspection Service and other authority concerning employee responsibilities and conduct. The setting forth of certain prohibitions in this part in no way limits the applicability of such general or other regulations or instructions.
