Sec. 17-5. Inspection of dairy farms and milk plants.
Prior to the issuance of a permit and at least once every
six months thereafter, the health officer shall inspect all dairy
farms. All milk plants whose milk or milk products are intended
for consumption within the city or its police jurisdiction
shall be inspected monthly. If the health officer should
discover the violation of any requirement, he shall make a
second inspection after a lapse of such time as he may deem
necessary for the defect to be remedied, but not before the
lapse of three days, and the second inspection shall be used
in determining compliance with the requirements of section
17-7. Any violation of the same requirement of this chapter
on such reinspection shall be justification for immediate degrading,
suspension of permit or court action.
One copy of the inspection report shall be posted by the
health officer in a conspicuous place upon an inside wall of
the milkhouse or milk plant, and such inspection report shall
not be defaced or removed by any person except the health
officer. Another copy of the inspection report shall be filed
with the records of the joint health board.
Every milk producer and distributor shall, upon request of
the health officer, permit him access to all parts of the establishment
and every distributor shall furnish the health officer,
upon his request, for official use only, a true statement of the
actual quantities of milk and milk products of each grade
purchased and sold, together with a list of all sources of such
milk and milk products, records of inspections and tests and
pasteurization time and temperature records. (Code 1959, §
17-5.)
