US FDA Food Code 2026 8-404: 8-404 Imminent health hazard: ceasing operations and resumption

The permit holder immediately stops operating and notifies the regulator if an imminent health hazard may exist from an emergency such as fire, flood, extended loss of power or water, sewage backup, misuse of poisonous or toxic materials, an apparent foodborne illness outbreak, gross insanitary conditions or another threat to public health (P); unaffected areas may continue. For extended power or water interruptions the regulator may allow continued operation under an approved written emergency operating plan, with immediate corrective action and notice to the regulator when the plan is put into effect. After stopping, the permit holder gets the regulator's approval before resuming operations.
