(b) that is not itself part of a sample selected to be inspected; and
(c) that would otherwise be required to be held under regulation 26 until after the results of inspection or analysis of samples from the consignment; and
(d) that is so perishable that it cannot be held in its imported condition until the results of the inspection are finalised without perishing or becoming unusable;
may be released by an authorised officer before the results of the inspection are determined subject to conditions intended to minimise or overcome the risk to human health posed by the food.
(2) Without limiting the generality of subregulation (1), conditions under that subregulation may include a condition that a number of shipments must be held for inspection before any is released.
