5. The dairy farm is subject to permit suspension if two successive inspections
disclose violations of the same requirement.

6. Except for imminent health hazards, no penalty is imposed on the producer
upon the first violation of any requirement of the Ordinance; however,
issuance of the inspection report is considered as sufficient notice to the
producer to correct any item not in compliance.

7. Appendix B provides the current requirements for the inspection of Bulk milk
pickup tankers and appurtenances. These tankers require inspection by the
regulatory agency least once every 12 months, using FDA form 2399B.
Hauler pickup and sampling procedures must be inspected /evaluated at least
every 24 months using FDA form 2399.

Here is a good thing to remember............

AND IT’S IN THE PMO!!
“EXPERIENCE HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT STRICT

ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE LEADS TO A
BETTER AND FRIENDLIER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE REGULATORY AGENCY AND THE MILK
INDUSTRY THAN DOES A POLICY OF

ENFORCEMENT, WHICH SEEKS TO EXCUSE
VIOLATIONS AND TO DEFER PENALTY THEREOF.
THE SANITARIAN’S CRITERION OF SATISFACTORY

COMPLIANCE SHOULD BE NEITHER TOO LENIENT
NOR UNREASONABLY STRINGENT. WHEN A
VIOLATION IS DISCOVERED, THE SANITARIAN

SHOULD POINT OUT TO THE MILK PRODUCER, BULK
MILK HAULER/SAMPLER, ….. THE REQUIREMENT
THAT HAS BEEN VIOLATED, DISCUSS A METHOD

FOR CORRECTION AND SET A TIME FOR
CORRECTING THE VIOLATED REQUIREMENT
