Haw. Code R. § 11-15-40 - Inspection of dairy farms and milk plants
(a) Each dairy
farm, milk plant, receiving station, and transfer station whose milk or milk
products are intended for consumption within the State of Hawaii shall be
inspected by the director prior to the issuance of a permit. Following the
issuance of a permit, each dairy farm and transfer station shall be inspected
at least once every six months and each milk plant and receiving station shall
be inspected at least once every three months. Should the violation of any
requirement set forth in sections
11-15-42,
11-15-43,
and
11-15-44 be found to exist on an inspection, a second inspection shall be required after
the time deemed necessary to remedy the violation has passed, but not before
three days. This second inspection shall be used to determine compliance with
the requirements of sections
11-15-42,
11-15-43,
and
11-15-44.
Any violation of the same requirements of sections
11-15-42,
11-15-43,
and
11-15-44 on a second inspection shall be subject to permit suspension in accordance with
section
11-15-38 or the institution of penalties as provided for in section
11-15-53,
or both.
(b) When an inspection of
a milk plant reveals that the process for manufacturing aseptically processed
milk or milk products is less than that required for aseptic processing, it
shall constitute an imminent health hazard and the director shall, in
accordance with section
11-15-38,
take immediate action to suspend the permit to produce aseptically processed
milk or milk products.
(c) One copy
of the inspection report shall be handed to the operator, or other responsible
person, or be posted in a conspicuous place on an inside wall of the
establishment. The inspection report shall not be defaced and shall be made
available to the director upon request. An identical copy of the inspection
report shall be filed with the records of the director.
(d) Every milk producer, hauler, distributor,
or plant operator shall, upon request of the director, permit access to all
parts of the establishment or facilities to determine compliance with the
provisions of this chapter. A distributor or plant operator shall furnish the
director, upon request, for official use only:
(1) A true statement of the actual quantities
of milk and milk products of each grade purchased and sold;
(2) A list of all sources of the milk and
milk products;
(3) Records of
inspections and tests; and
