Food Service Establishment Inspections

Food Service Establishment Inspections

Public Health Environmental Health Specialists perform inspections of more than 2,000 food service establishments within Jefferson County. The focus of these inspections is to protect the public's health by assuring that foods sold and served in Jefferson County are as safe as they can be and that food service establishments comply with state laws and regulations.

Please note that the inspection reports represented on this website reflect what the inspector observed during the actual inspection and may not accurately represent the sanitary condition of the establishment over time. On any given day, any retail food establishment could have a failure in food safety practices that could lead to foodborne illness, no matter what kind of inspection result it may have received.

Inspection Database Records

Jefferson County Public Health conducts numerous types of inspections, but only routine and follow-up inspections will be displayed within the Retail Food inspection database. Data on this website is updated daily
