As a condition of the issuance or maintenance of a license to conduct a retail food establishment, the owner of such establishment or one of them if there be more than one, or in lieu thereof, the person in charge of the day-to-day operation of the establishment, shall attend the approved food handlers' course presently furnished by the Bernard's Township Board of Health.[1] In the alternative, proof of attendance at an equivalent program shall be accepted by the Township Board of Health.

The fee required by § 364-2 shall cover routine inspection of a retail food establishment. In the event that a retail food establishment is given a conditional or unsatisfactory rating as the result of any inspection, an additional fee as provided in Chapter 361, Fees, shall be paid to the Township Board of Health for each reinspection necessary to determine compliance with N.J.A.C. 8:24-11 and following. A reinspection fee shall be paid at the time that the reinspection is made, and in no event shall a placard evidencing a satisfactory evaluation be issued until all required reinspection fees have been paid to the Board.
