New Jersey Statutes Title 24. Food and Drugs 24 § 9-26

No person or corporation shall keep or permit to remain in any refrigerated warehouse or locker plant any article beyond the time when it is sound and wholesome and fit to remain in storage. If any article is found to be fit for immediate consumption, but unfit for further storage, such article shall at once be removed from storage and not again stored. No article shall be kept or permitted to remain in any refrigerated warehouse for a longer aggregate period than twenty-four calendar months, except by order of the commissioner. Upon evidence satisfactory to him that the article is sound and wholesome and fit for further storage, the commissioner may, in his discretion, grant an extension of the storage period.
