In accordance with the California Retail Food Code (Health and Safety Code Sections 114381, 114387, 114395, 114419.3), when inspection violations are identified, offending organizations should have to pay the defined fine or fee. We recommend that the amount of the fine or fee should be based on the severity of the violations, the level of risk faced by the public, and/or the limits set by the Code. (F3)

When inspection violations are identified, offending organizations should be required to pay a set rate for EHD inspectors for every re-inspection. This may require a change in current county ordinances. (F3)
