(a) Whenever the Director finds after investigation that the distribution in the territory of Guam of any class of food may, by reason of contamination with microorganism during manufacture, processing or packing thereof in any locality, be injurious to health and that such injurious nature cannot be adequately determined after such articles have entered commerce, he then, and in such case only, shall promulgate regulations providing for the issuance to manufacturers, processors or packers of such class of food in such locality of permits to which shall be attached such conditions governing the manufacture, processing or packing, or packing of such class of food, for such temporary period of time as may be necessary to protect the public health; and after the effective date of such regulations and during such temporary period, no person shall introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce any such food manufactured, processed or packed by any such manufacturer, processor or packer unless such manufacturer, processor or packer holds a permit issued by the Director as provided by such regulations.

(b) The Director is authorized to suspend immediately upon notice any permit issued under authority of this Section if it is found that any of the conditions of the permit have been violated. The holder of a permit so suspended shall be privileged at any time to apply for reinstatement of such permit and the Director shall immediately after prompt hearing and inspection of the establishment, reinstate such permit if it is found that adequate measures have been taken to comply with and maintain the conditions of the permit, as originally issued or as amended.

(c) Any officer or employee duly designated by the Director shall have access to any factory or establishment, the operator of which holds a permit from the Director for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the conditions of the permit are being complied with and denial of access for such inspection shall be grounds for suspension of the permit until access is freely given by the operator.
