Food Protection

The overall goal of the Environmental Health Department when conducting food inspections, whether it is a restaurant, temporary food stand, vending machine, school, grocery store, or bakery, is to assure that the public is provided with food that is safe, sanitary, and free of general contamination.  Food service facilities must comply with the Wisconsin State Food Code, and must correct any violations that are discovered.

Please visit the the links below to learn more about food service protection and the state codes that apply to different types of facilities.  To apply for a permit please call (715) 537-6844 or email watertest@co.barron.wi.us.
