Section 5: INSPECTION OF DAIRY FARMS AND MILK PLANTS <br /> Prior to the issuance of a permit, and at least once <br /> every 6 months thereafter, the Health Officer shall inspect all <br /> dairy farms and all milk plants whose milk or milk products are <br /> intended for consumption within the City of Everett, or its <br /> police jurisdiction, provided the Health Officer may accept, as <br /> a supplement to official inspection, the results of periodic <br /> inspections by industry of producer dairies which he checks <br /> periodically and finds satisfactory. If the Health Officer <br /> should discover the violation of any requirement, he shall make <br /> a second inspection after a lapse of such time as he may deem <br /> necessary for the defect to be remedied, but not before the <br /> lapse of three days; and the second inspection shall be used in <br /> determining compliance with the requirements of Section 7 of <br /> this ordinance. Any violation of the same requirement of this <br /> ordinance on such reinspection shall call for immediate degrad- <br /> ing, and/or suspension of permit, and/or court action. <br /> One copy of the inspection report shall be posted by the <br /> Health Officer in a conspicuous place upon an inside wall of the <br /> milk house or milk plant, and said inspection report shall not <br /> be defaced or removed by any person except the Health Officer. <br /> Another copy of the inspection report shall be filed with the <br /> records of the Health Department. <br /> Every milk producer and distributor shall, upon the <br /> request of the Health Officer, permit him access to all parts of <br /> the establishment, and every distributor shall furnish the Health <br /> Officer, upon his request, for official use only, a true state- <br /> ment of the actual quantities of milk and milk products of each <br /> grade purchased and sold, together with a list of all sources <br /> of such milk and milk products, records of inspections and tests, <br /> including bacterial tests, and pasteurization time and tempera- <br /> ture records and samples for bacterial test when required by the <br /> Health Officer. <br /> Section 6: THE EXAMINATION OF MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS <br /> During each 6-month period, at least four samples of milk, <br /> and cream from each dairy farm, and at least four samples of <br /> milk, cream and homogenized milk from each milk plant, shall be <br /> taken on separate days and examined by the Health Officer, <br /> provided that in the case of raw milk for pasteurization, the <br /> Health Officer may accept the test results of laboratories <br /> which he has checked periodically and found satisfactory. Samples <br /> of other milk products shall be taken and examined by the Health <br /> Officer at least once during each 6-month period. Samples may <br /> be taken at any time prior to the final delivery of the milk or <br /> milk products. Samples of milk and milk products from stores, <br /> cafes, soda fountains, restaurants and other places where milk <br /> or milk products are sold shall be examined as often as the <br /> Health Officer may require. All proprietors of such places shall <br /> furnish the Health Officer, upon his request, with the names of <br /> all distributors from whom their milk and milk products are <br /> obtained. Bacterial plate counts, direct microscopic counts, <br /> coliform determinations, phosphatase tests, efficiency of <br /> bactericidal treatment, and other laboratory and screening tests <br /> shall conform to the procedures in the tenth edition of <br /> "Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products" recom- <br /> mended by the American Public Health Association as shown in <br /> City Clerk's office under file No. N-l. Examinations may include <br /> such other chemical and physical determinations as the Health <br /> Officer may deem necessary for the detection of adulteration. <br />
