Food Safety Program

The Food Safety Program is designed to assist with the layout of the food operation, the equipment needed and the food preparation processes required to be able to serve safe food products to the community.  The Health District licenses nearly 500 food operations in Logan County, including restaurants, bars, delis, grocery and convenience stores, vending machines, mobile food services, and food sold at fairs and festivals.   Each year, our sanitarians conduct about 900 inspections of these food establishments to ensure the safety of Logan County's food supply.
