The State of West Virginia revised Legislative Rule
64CSR17 concerning Food
Establishments. The new Rule adopts the
2005 FDA model Food Code. Under this rule Local Health Departments are mandated to
regulate restaurants, retail food stores, schools, hospitals, bars, day care
centers, and any other permanent establishment dealing with food. Also under
this rule, Health Departments regulate
Temporary Food Establishments located at fairs, festivals, roadside
stands, etc.
Inspections on these facilities are conducted at least twice per year and more
often if needed. In addition to the required Health Permit to operate,
establishments must insure that all food service workers obtain a Food Handler's
Permit. Classes for Food Handlers are conducted monthly and are
designed to educate the proper techniques, methods, and requirements of a food
establishment and it's workers.
For any applications, forms, or regulations refer to the
Environmental Forms
or Regulations page. If you have any questions please
contact
us or
call (304)530-6355.
