Consumer Health

We are Consumer Health, a division of the Planning Department.  There are two inspectors in the Consumer Heath Division.  We do health inspections, our main focal point being food establishments.  Inspections of food facilities include full service and fast food restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, school cafeterias, nursing home cafeterias, hospital cafeterias, concession stands, snow cone stands, and temporary events.  We also inspect mobile vendors such as hot trucks, ice cream trucks, and push carts.
