Preventing Food borne Illnesses

The Environmental Health Division staff work daily with facilities and people who prepare foods that are served to the public. Through the inspection of facilities that sell or serve food and through the education of the employees that work in these facilities, it is our goal to prevent as many food borne illnesses as possible.

Only you can prevent food borne illness at home!  Learn more about preventing food borne illnesses now by visiting one of the linked web pages listed below.
