Operative words

(1) Food establishments shall comply with the sanitation standards and processes contained in the Department of Health and Senior Services Missouri Food Code manual. The manual is incorporated by reference in this rule as published June 3, 2013, by the Department of Health and Senior Services

Penalty

Permit and license sanctions and closure under the Food Code and local ordinances; RSMo 192.320 (class A misdemeanor) for violation of chapter 192 provisions and the rules made under § 192.020

What it required

Every Missouri food establishment must comply with the Missouri Food Code (the Department's adoption of the FDA Food Code), which governs employee health, exclusion and restriction of ill food employees, handwashing, sanitation and the duties of the person in charge; the local public health agencies that enforce the Food Code under RSMo 192.300 and city ordinances were the same agencies the COVID-19 orders directed to enforce their protocols against restaurants and food retailers.

Retrieval note

The Secretary of State's current chapter PDF (98,722 bytes). The Missouri Food Code manual itself is incorporated by reference and is not in this exhibit; the duty to comply with it is. 19 CSR 20-20.060 (within Ex. DUT-MO-007) supplies the parallel communicable-disease rule for food handlers.
