(a) Commencing January 1, 2000, the department shall use the resources provided by the registration fees assessed by this article to inspect new and registered food processing facilities to determine compliance with this part. The department shall target the inspections and adjust their scope, depth, and frequency based on the department’s statewide assessment of public health risk potential. In assessing public health risk potential, the department shall consider, at a minimum, the potential and actual health risks associated with processed foods manufactured, packed, or held in this state, and the food safety practices and compliance histories of persons who manufacture, pack, or hold processed foods in this state.
(b) Commencing January 1, 2001, the department, pursuant to this chapter, shall conduct an annual inspection of each registered food processing facility and inspect each new food processing facility prior to issuing a new registration pursuant to Section 110460. This annual inspection requirement may be adjusted or waived based on an assessment of the food processing facility pursuant to subdivision (a).
(c) The department may perform one or more reinspections of each new and registered food processing facility as necessary to prevent repeated or continuing violations of this part and for the purposes of approving the issuance of a new registration. The department shall charge a fee of one hundred dollars ($100) per hour to cover the costs of performing the reinspections of the same food processing facility within any 12-month period.
(Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 401, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2006.)
