Permits authorized
Official statutory text
(a) Whenever the State Board of Health finds after investigation
that the distribution in the State of Oklahoma of any class of food
may, by reason of contamination with microorganisms during
manufacture, processing, or packing thereof in any locality, be
injurious to health, and that such injurious nature cannot be
adequately determined after such articles have entered commerce, it
then, and in such case only, shall promulgate reasonable rules and
regulations providing for the issuance, to manufacturers,
processors, or packers of such class of food in such locality, of
permits to which shall be attached such conditions governing the
manufacture, processing, or packing of such class of food, for such
temporary period of time, as may be necessary to protect the public
health; and after the effective date of such reasonable rules and
regulations, and during such temporary period, no person shall
introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce any such food
manufactured, processed, or packed by any such manufacturer,
processor, or packer unless such manufacturer, processor, or packer
holds a permit issued by the State Commissioner of Health as
provided by such reasonable rules and regulations.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 578
(b) The State Commissioner of Health is authorized to suspend
immediately upon notice any permit issued under authority of this
section if it is found that any of the conditions of the permit have
been violated. The holder of a permit so suspended shall be
privileged at any time to apply for the reinstatement of such
permit, and the Commissioner shall, immediately after prompt hearing
and an inspection of the establishment, reinstate such permit if it
is found that adequate measures have been taken to comply with and
maintain the conditions of the permit, as originally issued, or as
amended.
(c) Any officer or employee duly designated by the State
Commissioner of Health shall have access to any factory or
establishment, the operator of which holds a permit from the
Commissioner, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the
conditions of the permit are being complied with, and denial of
access for such inspection shall be ground for suspension of the
permit until such access is freely given by the operator.
