FOOD SERVICE

When food is served to the general public we always have the possibility that we are serving someone with a weakened or developing immune system. The Powell County Health Department regulates and inspects many types of food operations.
Food service inspection – Restaurants, delis, etc.…
Retail food inspection – Grocery stores, convenient stores, dollar stores, etc.

Temporary food – fairs, festivals, food trucks, events, etc..
