The enforcement officer may recover reasonable costs associated with an inspection from the community food producer or gleaner.
(b) (1) An enforcement officer may issue a community food producer or gleaner a cease and desist order for violations of Section 114376, upon which the community food producer or gleaner shall be prohibited from further sales until the operations of the community food producer or gleaner have been reinspected and cleared by the enforcement officer’s agency.
