2 Miss. Code. R. 1-4-01-100.02

Current through December 10, 2024
Section 2-1-4-01-100.02 - Department inspections:
1. Each retail food establishment will be issued an inspection result summary and an inspection report on each visit. The inspection report shall document certain information, which can be found in Food Code Section 8-403.10, "Documenting Information and Observations."
2. The inspection result placard notifies the consumer of the result of the inspection. There are four placard results:
a. Green "Passed" placard. This result indicates that the retail food establishment passed inspection and had no critical violations as defined by the Food Code.
b. Green "Conditional Pass" placard. This result indicates that the retail food establishment had at least one critical violation that was corrected at the time of inspection. Because of the nature and severity of the violation(s), a follow-up inspection will be performed, as deemed necessary by the Commissioner or her agents.
c. Yellow "Notice" placard. This result indicates one of three outcomes:
i. a critical violation could not be corrected before the Inspector left the premises; or
ii. a critical violation was repeated from the last inspection, even if it was corrected at the time of the follow-up inspection; or
iii. excessive (more than 5) repeated noncritical violations were found on a follow-up inspection.
d. Red "Failed" placard. This result indicates closure of the retail food establishment due to immediate danger to public health and safety.
3. Critical violations shall be corrected by the license holder immediately if possible, and within ten days after inspection, unless otherwise directed by the Department.
4. Excessive (more than five) repeated noncritical violations shall be corrected by the license holder within thirty days from the date of inspection.
5. If the Commissioner or her agents have evidence, based on an inspection, that a public health hazard could exist, a license holder shall assist the Department with its investigation, including sharing company reports and records that would supplement food safety and sanitation inspection findings.
