If such enforcing officer shall find that the certified lot of fruits, nuts, or vegetables is in violation of any provision of this division he may appeal to the director who shall within 24 hours cause a reinspection to be made of the certified lot of fruits, nuts or vegetables. The lot of certified fruits, nuts, or vegetables shall be released or rejected in accordance with the findings upon such reinspection.
