The standards should be in line with current food preparation guidelines. No excessive or punitive rules may be established by the Executive Director.
3. Up to two times a year, the Authority may inspect a processing operation and determine its compliance with the preparation standards. If deficiencies are found, a written report of the deficiency shall be issued to the licensed processor. The licensed processor shall have one (1) month to correct the deficiency or be subject to a fine of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each deficiency.
