Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Any person who, by medical examination or supervisory observation, is shown to have, or appears to have, an illness; open lesion, including boils, sores, or infected wounds; or any other abnormal source of microbial contamination by which there is a reasonable possibility of food, food-contact surfaces, or food-packaging materials becoming contaminated, must be excluded from any operations which may be expected to result in such contamination until the condition is corrected, unless conditions, such as open lesions, boils, and infected wounds are adequately covered (e.g. by an impermeable cover). Personnel must be instructed to report such health conditions to their supervisors.

(b) When reasonable cause exists to suspect the possibility of transmission of infection from any person concerned with the handling of milk, the department is authorized to require any or all the following measures:

(1) the immediate exclusion of that person from milk handling;

(2) the immediate exclusion of the milk supply concerned from distribution and use; and

(3) adequate medical and bacteriological examination of the person, of the person's associates, and their body discharges.
