cosmetics.
			The Board or its agents are authorized to inspect such factory, warehouse,
establishment or vehicle and all pertinent equipment, materials, containers and
labeling.			In the case of any factory, warehouse, establishment or consulting

and completed with reasonable promptness. The Board or its agents shall have
access to copy all records of carriers in commerce showing the movement in
commerce of any drug, device, or cosmetic and the quantity, shipper and

criminal prosecution of the person from whom obtained; and carriers shall not be
subject to the provisions of Chapter 34 by reason of their receipt, carriage,
holding, or delivery of food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics in the usual course
of business.
