As required by law, food service establishments are also regularly inspected by our environmental health specialists. During inspections, environmental health specialists check on cleanliness, food temperature standards and other factors to identify and correct any issues that could lead to food borne illness.
A temporary food establishment (TFE) doesn’t operate for more than 21 days in any given location, and operates in conjunction with events such as carnivals, festivals, or public exhibitions.
Limited food service permits are issued to political subdivisions of the State, establishments operated by volunteers that prepare or serve food in conjunction with amateur athletic events, or for establishments operated by other charitable organizations.
All establishments that offer paid lodging accommodations, including hotels, motels, inns, and bed and breakfast inns/homes, are inspected and permitted by Environmental Health.
