(a) The department shall from time to time weigh or measure a package or an amount of any commodity that is kept or offered for sale, sold, or in the process of delivery, in order to determine:
(1) if the commodity is of the amount or quantity represented; or
(2) if the commodity is being offered for sale or sold in accordance with law.
(b) If the department finds that a package or any lot of a commodity contains less of the commodity than the amount represented, the department may seize the package or the commodity as evidence.
(c) A person commits an offense if the person or the person's employee or agent refuses to exhibit a commodity being sold or offered for sale at a given weight or quantity, or ordinarily sold in that manner, to the department for testing and proving as to quantity.
