All restaurants, food vendors, and temporary food establishments are required to have routine food inspections. These inspections verify compliance with local and state health regulations.
During an inspection, a health inspector will review your establishment, observe food-handling practices, check equipment and temperatures, and identify any areas that need correction. After the inspection, you will receive a report outlining the results and any required follow-up actions.
If you are planning on opening a food establishment, please follow this flow sheet. This is the process you must go through - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rUbt4mT-LXfbacSA_eWbWdTX4MhYNjuYQE4K65m6r7A/edit?usp=sharing
