| The Food Safety staff helps to prevent foodborne illness in Summit County through the following activities:
|
| Food worker information |
| A Food Worker card is required to work in
a food service establishment. An opportunity to obtain a food worker’s
card is provided through classroom instruction and testing on safe food
handling procedures. Classes are taught throughout the year in both English
and Spanish. Click here to view the 2008
Food Handler’s Class Schedule.
All Food Service managers need to attend a Food Managers Certification Course. Click here to view the Food Managers Certification Course providers. Safe Food Practices helps to remind all food service workers on safe food handling and proper procedures. |
| Food Establishment Inspections |
| Food establishments that sell or serve food
to the public must get a permit and be inspected by the Summit County
Health Department. These establishments include restaurants, coffee shops
delis, grocery stores, school kitchens, temporary events where food is
sold and more.
The purpose of the inspection is to assure that the food is being handled properly from preparation through serving. Inspectors observe kitchen workers’ food handling practices, inspect refrigerators and storage areas, take food temperatures, assure correct use of sanitizers and handwashing practices. Any problem found is written up on an inspection report, and the manager is taught the correct procedure or method immediately. To report a potential violation in food safety, call Leslie Freeman at 435-615-3918 or email at lfreeman@utah.gov. |

If you are planning to open your own Food Service Establishment there are applications and information you will need. The New Food Establishment Requirements and New Restaurant Information will explain the procedure and facilities needed for obtaining approval of your Food Service Establishment Permit in Summit County.

| Temporary Food Establishments |
| Temporary food establishments are those
which serve food seasonally or intermittently or at events such as fairs,
farmer's markets, bake sales etc...
