Retail Food Establishments

The department inspects a variety of retail food establishments (restaurants, food stores, food vehicles and vending machines) on a routine basis. Food handler training courses are offered (and mandatory to all food establishments) to provide education on food safety techniques that minimize potential food-borne disease outbreaks. Inspectors participate with the New Jersey Department of Health on food recalls, smoking in restaurant programs and other activities as they arise.
