  • When a food service operation or retail food establishment has been implicated in a foodborne disease outbreak.
  • When the licensor has documented a failure to maintain sanitary conditions as per section 3717.29 of the Revised Code for a retail food establishment or section 3717.49 of the Revised Code for a food service operation.
