Food and General

Anderson County Environmental specialists inspect every establishment where food and beverages are prepared and served at least twice a year or more often as deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the Hotel, Food Service Establishment, and Public Swimming Pool Act of 1985*. Current food permits and the most recent inspection report must be displayed in a prominent location for the public to view. Environmental Health conducts inspections of child care facilities, as well as their food service operations. Environmental Health licenses and inspects body piercing establishments at least once per year.

Consumer complaints and reports of suspected food borne disease outbreaks are promptly and thoroughly investigated in cooperation with county nurses, doctors and epidemiological workers.
