What establishments are inspected by the Grant County Health Dept.?
All retail food outlets including restaurants, markets, taverns,
convenience stores, grocery stores, school cafeterias, food booths and
concession trailers at fairs and festivals, mobile food sales trucks,
non-profit meal sites and bed & breakfasts are inspected.
What should I do if I'm interested in buying or building a food outlet?
Please contact the Environmental Health Specialist in the Food Division
BEFORE purchasing a food outlet so that you can review the outlets past
inspections. When you assume ownership, you are responsible for
bringing the establishment into compliance with the Indiana State
Health Code.
Before remodeling or building a food outlet you are required to submit blueprints and plans for review and approval.
How do I file a complaint against a food outlet?
Call the Food Division of the Grant County Health Dept. at 651-2401.
The complaint can be filed one of three ways: a verbal complaint will
be taken over the phone; you can come to our department and fill out a
complaint form; or you can ask to be mailed a complaint form.
We prefer to have the name, address and telephone number of the
complaintant so that we can notify you of the action taken on your
complaint. You can file a complaint anonymously, however we NEVER
divulge the name of the complaintant to the food establishment.
How many food outlets are there in Grant County?
There are over 300 food outlets.
How often do you inspect? Do the food outlets know when you are coming to inspect?
All retail food outlets are inspected twice per year during unannounced
inspections. We return more frequently if follow-up inspections are
required or if we receive a complaint.
