We protect public health by permitting and inspecting at least once a year food establishments such as restaurants, school and hospital cafeterias, caterers, and temporary event vendors such as booths at public fairs to insure that food is prepared and maintained safely to prevent food-borne illnesses. We investigate reports of food illnesses, working with businesses and citizens to educate and correct deficiencies.
