§ 19002 License Suspension For Violations

Key Takeaways

  • •If you're a food inspector and let bad or wrongly labeled food pass, you can lose your job license.
  • •The rules say food must meet certain standards—if you ignore that, you're in trouble.
  • •This is serious—they can take away your license, so you can't work as an inspector anymore.

Example

A food inspector sees a batch of canned beans with the wrong expiration date but lets them get sold anyway.

The inspector broke the rules by allowing bad labels, so the government can take away their inspector license.
