Food Service Program

Egyptian Health Department Food Service Program performs activities to identify, reduce and whenever possible, eliminate factors which may cause food-borne illness. This is achieved by permitting and performing routine inspections of all permanent, mobile and temporary food service establishments within the three counties. State and county regulations are used as legal base for all inspections
