Food Safety

The food program consists of five inspection activities: Food Service Operations (FSO) (restaurants), Retail Food Establishments (RFE) (grocery stores), Food Vending Machines, Mobile Food Services and Temporary Food Operations (festivals). New and remodeled FSO and RFE construction plans are reviewed, approved and monitored until they are complete. Investigations of all food borne illnesses are completed with recommendations made to affected food operations.
