No person shall conduct a retail food establishment as defined and governed
by the aforesaid code without first having procured a license from the local
Board of Health.
In addition to the requirements contained in Chapter
112, each application for a license under this chapter shall be investigated by the Board of Health, which shall report its findings in writing to the Township Council within a reasonable time. No license shall be issued unless the Board of Health reports that the applicant conforms to all provisions of the code.
In addition to the grounds for revocation set forth in §
112-9, a license issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked for failure to comply with any provision of the code.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
Organizations formed as nonprofit corporations under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, and other organizations or associations which are not
incorporated, but which are organized as associations for nonprofit purposes
or as accessories to or in aid of any established churches, fraternal or civic
or benevolent groups, which desire to serve food to the public on a temporary
or irregular basis for one day or series of days not exceeding seven in any
year, shall be exempt from payment of any of the license fees required herein
and shall be further exempt from attending any seminars or courses otherwise
required under the provisions of this chapter. To be exempt, however, any
such organization shall notify the Health Officer of the township four weeks
prior to the desired function where food will be sold, served or prepared
and shall permit the Health Officer to check the site for the function and
the equipment to be used and to furnish information about the health rules
required of those organizations or associations conducting the sale or preparation
of food.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall,
upon conviction, be liable to a penalty of not less than $5 nor more than
$500. Each violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, and each day
such provision is violated, shall be deemed and taken to be a separate and
distinct offense.
