(A)
The regulatory authority may, without warning, notice, or hearing suspend a food establishment permit if the holder of such permit does not comply with the requirements of this chapter, or the operation of the food establishment does not comply with the requirements set forth herein, or, if the operation of the food establishment otherwise constitutes an imminent health hazard. If a food establishment is experiencing an imminent health hazard according to the regulatory authority, the food establishment may be closed for operations until the imminent health hazard has been eliminated. Suspension is effective upon service of the notice in accordance with this § 94.13, herein, as amended. When a permit is suspended, food service operations shall immediately cease. Whenever a permit is suspended, the holder thereof shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing within 20 days after receipt by the regulatory authority of a written request for hearing.
(B) Whenever a permit is suspended, the holder thereof or the PIC shall be notified in writing that an opportunity for a hearing shall be provided if a written request for hearing is filed with the regulatory authority within ten days after receipt of notice. If no written request for hearing is filed within a ten-day period, the suspension is sustained. The regulatory authority may terminate the suspension at any time if reasons for suspension no longer exist.
