The inspection must show with clear and convincing evidence that the products involved are misbranded, adulterated, or that a health hazard or potential health hazard exists. A copy of the official inspection sheet, with the temporary hold order, handed to the certificate holder or the certificate holder's authorized representative, or in their absence, posted in a conspicuous place at the facility/unit, shall constitute a written notice for a temporary hold on the products.
