Illinois Statutes Chapter 410. Public Health § 625/1. Health and food handling laws and regulations; injunction for non-compliance

§ 1. Any business establishment dealing in the sale of food items which does not comply with existing state laws relating to food handling or does not comply with the health and food handling regulations of any local governmental unit having jurisdiction of such establishment may be enjoined from doing business in the following manner: the Department of Public Health of the State of Illinois or local departments of health may seek an injunction in the circuit court for the county in which such establishment is located. Such injunction, if granted, shall prohibit such business establishment from selling food items until it complies with any applicable state laws or regulations of a local governmental agency. However, no injunction may be sought or granted before July 1, 1980, to enforce any rule or regulation requiring a food service establishment to have one or more persons who are certified in food service sanitation.

The local department of health shall file a written report with the Illinois Department of Public Health within 10 days after seeking an injunction against a business establishment dealing in the sale of food items.
