The State Department of Agriculture shall enforce the provisions of ORS 616.695 to 616.755 and adopt rules necessary therefor in accordance with the applicable provisions of ORS chapter 183, to insure and verify that:

(2) Food establishments maintain time and temperature controls, indicating and recording thermometers and indicating pressure gauges for pressure cookers and retorts, minimum temperature and time period standards for cooking foods, and other facilities necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of ORS 616.695 to 616.755.
