Dear Mr. Granitsas:
RE: Food Service Cease and Desist Order
The Salem Board of Health has been advised that you are operating a food
service business under the name A&B Barbecue at the above referenced
location without a permit to operate a food establishment from the Salem Board
of Health. This action places the public's health at risk for foodborne illness,
including Salmonella and E. Coli.
This unlawful food service operation is in violation of 105 CMR 590.00:
State Sanitary Code Chapter X: Minimum Sanitation Standards for Food
Establishments and the 2013 FDA Food Code Section 8-301.11 Prerequisite
for Operation. A PERSON may not operate a FOOD ESTABLISHMENT
without a valid PERMIT to operate issued by the REGULATORY
AUTHORITY, that being the Salem Board of Health.
Therefore, in accordance with the 105 CMR 400.00 State Sanitary Code Chapter
I, "General Administrative Procedures", Massachusetts General Law Chapter
111, Section 122 105 CMR 590.00 and the Federal Food code, You are hereby
ordered to immediately cease and desist all food service activities you
conduct in the City of Salem. You are further ordered to contact the Salem
Board of Health within 7 days of receipt of this order to address the issue of your
unpermitted food service establishment.
Failure to comply with this order will result in further action being taken against
you including daily monetary fines of$1000.00 per day or court action against
you. Orders of the Board of Health may be enforced by an application to
Superior Court.
Should you be aggrieved by this Order, you have the right to request a hearing
before the Board of Health. A request for such a hearing must be received in
writing in this office of the Board of Health within seven (7) days of receipt of this
Order. At said hearing, you will be given the opportunity to be heard and to
present witness and documentary evidence as to why this Order should be
modified or withdrawn. You may be represented by an attorney. Please also be
informed that you have the right to inspect and obtain copies of all relevant
inspection or investigation reports, orders, and other documentary information in
the possession of this Board, and that any adverse party has the right to be
present at the hearing.
