22 Miss. Code. R. 4-16-16.6 - Suspension or Revocation of Seafood Processor Certificate
A. A certification held by a person will be
suspended or revoked by the Executive Director when a certified crab plant
owner, operator, or manager:
a. Interferes or
fails to cooperate with the MDMR during an inspection.
b. Interferes or prevents the temporary hold
or confiscation and disposal of saltwater crabs or saltwater crab products by
the MDMR when the saltwater crabs or saltwater crab products were declared, in
writing, an adulterated product and a public health risk or a potential public
health risk by the MDMR, and the MDMR concluded that the stated foods had to be
confiscated and removed from the facility/unit and properly disposed.
B. Suspension or revocation of a
certification will be implemented provided the MDMR will in all cases serve
upon the holder a written notice of intent to suspend or revoke the
certificate. The notice will specify the violations and allow the holder such
reasonable opportunity to correct such violations as agreed to by the parties
before making any order of suspension/revocation effective. A copy of the
official signed suspension or revocation order handed to the certification
holder or the certification holder's authorized representative, or in their
absence, posted in a conspicuous place in the establishment, shall constitute
written notice to suspend or revoke the certificate. A suspension/revocation of
a certificate will remain in effect until the violation has been
corrected.
C. Upon receipt of an
application from any person whose certificate has been suspended or revoked,
the MDMR will make such inspection(s) as deemed necessary, collect samples, and
test them to determine compliance.
D. Upon the occurrence of repeated critical
health hazards or violation(s) in other regulated seafood sanitation and health
safety categories, the MDMR has the authority to revoke such certificate
following reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing.
