Emergency Closure of Food Service Facility
Notification of Closure
If HSRM determines a food facility closure is required to protect environmental or public health, the facility will receive the order in writing.
The order will:
- Identify the food establishment
- Describe the specific reasons why the emergency closure is needed
- List the corrections needed before the establishment can be re-opened
- Be issued to the owner, manager, or person in charge of operations of the premises
The person receiving the order must close the facility and request all customers to vacate. The facility will remain closed until HSRM rescinds the order for emergency closure
Process to Re-Open a Closed Establishment
The establishment must:
- Correct all conditions that led to the emergency closure
- After corrections are complete, contact HSRMÂ to request an inspection
- HSRM will conduct an inspection to verify corrections were made
- If conditions are met, HSRMÂ will rescind the closure order in writing
Note:Â Establishments cannot re-open until HSRM verifies all corrections.Â
