When, in the opinion of an inspector, any equipment, utensils, room or compartment at an official establishment is unclean or its use would be in violation of any of these regulations, he will attach a red or green State of California Rejected/Retained tag thereto, notify the establishment operator of such tagging and make necessary arrangements with the establishment operator for an inspector to be present when the item tagged is ready for reinspection. Such equipment, utensils, room, or compartment shall be placed in a sanitary condition in accordance with these regulations and thereafter shall be reinspected by the inspector designated on the State of California Rejected/Retained tag and shall not be used until the condition thereof shall be found satisfactory by an inspector on reinspection and the inspector has removed the State of California Rejected/Retained tag therefrom. Only a Branch inspector may remove a red State of California Rejected/Retained tag. A Branch inspector or poultry meat inspector may remove a green State of California Rejected/Retained tag. Prior to such approval on reinspection, the State of California Rejected/Retained tag shall not be removed or destroyed.
