The Food Safety Program provides a number of services to ensure the proper handling and distribution of food served to the general public. This includes:

• Conducting inspections of restaurants, festival food booths, and mobile food vehicles
• Conducting investigations of food-borne illness complaints and outbreaks
  
• Providing Food Safety Education
  

Food Service License renewal late fees will be waived until 60 days after the declared state of emergency ends.

Current executive orders extend food service licenses 60 days after the declared state of emergency ends. Oakland County late fees will be assessed for facilities that have not renewed prior to the expiration date. Please check the current executive orders or contact our offices regarding licensing renewal deadlines.

In addition, Special Transitory Food Units that were unable to receive two paid inspections due to event cancellations may renew without documentation of the two paid inspections.
