Our section is responsible for enforcing state laws, rules and regulations by conducting sanitation inspection of  retail food stores, salvage food operations, mobile meat trucks and rolling stores to insure good manufacturing practices.  Various tests are performed during inspection including fat tests to check fat content in ground beef, candling shell eggs for wholesomeness, and black light for signs of rodent infestation.

We also check scanners and scales to insure accuracy of pricing and weight and the shelves of retail and wholesale stores for out of date food products
