(A) The Health Officer shall inspect every food establishment located within the city as often as it is deemed necessary. The Health Officer may take and examine samples of food, drink, and other substances found on the premises for detection of unwholesomeness and adulteration, and may condemn, forbid the sale of, and cause to be removed or destroyed any food or drink which is unwholesome or adulterated.
(B) If violations occur which do not present an imminent hazard to the public health, the Health Officer shall immediately notify the permit holder thereof and shall make a second inspection after the lapse of such time as he deems necessary for the violation to be corrected. Any violations of the same nature found on reinspection shall be grounds for immediate suspension of the permit, court action, or both.
(C) In cases involving an imminent health hazard, such as a sewage back-up into the establishment, or an absence of sanitization or refrigeration, the establishment shall immediately cease food service operations and the permit shall be suspended.
(D) If a food establishment is required to cease operations under the provisions of this section, it shall not resume operations until such time as a reinspection determines that conditions responsible far the cessation of operations no longer exists. Opportunity for reinspection shall be offered within reasonable time.
(E) Food from food establishments outside the jurisdiction of the city may be sold within the city provided such food establishments maintain a valid permit issued under Bell County Regulations.
(F) The Health Officer shall post one copy of the inspection report upon a wall inside the food service establishment, retail food store, or mobile food service unit. Such inspection report shall be displayed in clear view and shall not be defaced or removed except by the Health Officer. He shall file one copy of the inspection report with the records of his office.
