The Health Department protects the community from food borne illness by conducting Food Safety Inspections. All restaurants and grocery stores are required to maintain a permit through the Green River District Health Department. Surprise inspections are conducted at least twice a year on each facility.
Health Department environmentalists also inspect temporary food vendors that sell food at fairs and festivals. Temporary food permits are issued from the health center in the county the event is to be held. A one to three day permit is available for $25.00. A four to fourteen day permit is available for $30.00. If you are a food vendor or an event organizer, please contact your local health center at least two weeks prior to your event.
