(a) In addition to the general application requirements for a retail food establishment license, if a license applicant intends to engage in the automatic food vending machine (A.F.V.M.) business, he shall supply the following information:
1. A list of all vending machines operated by him and their location and the location of all commissaries or other establishments from which his machines are serviced. This information shall be available to the health authority upon request, and shall be kept current;
2. The identity and form of the products to be dispensed through vending machines; the types of A.F.V.M. machines intended to be operated, a description of each type, the number of employees, and such other information as the Department of Health may require in order to inform it fully as to the types of machines and kinds of food to be dispensed of therein. The applicant shall notify the Department of Health of any change in operations involving new types of vending machines, or conversion of existing machines to dispense products other than those for which the machine was built and for which the license was issued.
(b) Prior to issuing a retail food establishment license which shall authorize a licensee to engage in the automatic food-vending machine business, the Department of Health shall approve the type of vending machine intended to be operated and shall make an inspection of the premises of the applicant, the commissary, supply storage, servicing, cleaning and sanitizing, and transport facilities and representative vending machines to determine their fitness from the standpoint of insuring protection of the food from improper handling, contamination and spoilage.
