Food Facility Program -
This State-mandated program emphasizes illness prevention by providing three to four annual inspections of all retail food facilities in the City. Follow-up inspections also occur when a facility does not meet the minimum standards of the California Retail Food Code (Cal Code). Retail food facilities inspected include restaurants, bars, markets, food carts, coffee shops, bakeries, meat markets, farmer's markets, flea market (swap meet), boarding houses (fraternities and sororities), vending machines, food vending vehicles, licensed health care facilities, and schools (public and private).
