Food Program

Retail Food Establishments are permitted/licensed and inspected at routine intervals.  Each establishment is evaluated for cleanliness, proper food handling and food storage practices.  Re-inspections are conducted as needed in an effort to verify an establishment's correction of problem areas.  Community education is available to improve food handling practices and to address areas of concern.  Fees are required for permits and licenses.
