Meat plant operator's licence suspension upheld for failing to maintain daily water disinfection records.
The appellant, owner of a meat processing plant, appealed a decision by the Director suspending his operating licence for five days for failing to keep daily written records of water disinfection (chlorine levels).
The Tribunal found that the Food Safety and Quality Act, its regulations, and the Safe Drinking Water Act require the operator to conduct daily testing of the chlorine level, retain the results in writing, and provide them to inspectors upon request.
The Tribunal concluded that the appellant failed to meet these statutory obligations and confirmed the Director's decision to suspend the licence.
