Information on the Food Compliance and
Weights and Measures Registration Programs
Mission
Statement: The mission of the food program is to ensure:
- Foods are safe, wholesome, and sanitary
- Food products are honestly, accurately, and informatively represented
- Products are in compliance with Utah's laws and regulations
- Noncompliance is identified and corrected
- Unsafe or unlawful products are removed from the market
Utah has a coordinated approach to assessing food safety consisting
of prioritization and risk reduction. This allows us to focus on critical
issues and maximize our efforts.
The Food Compliance Program monitors and evaluates the food supply as
it moves in commerce. Program initiatives are designed and implemented
to ensure that risk factors in the food chain are identified and eliminated.
Facilities
inspected include bakeries, grocery stores, warehouses, retail meat
markets, food processing plants, produce markets, ethnic markets,
salvage stores, and truck wrecks (when food products are involved).
Inspections evaluate employee health, risk factor intervention, sources
of food, hygenic practices, HACCP plans, pest control, conformance
to approved procedures, chemical use and handling, construction of
food establishments (water supply, floors, walls, ceilings, equipment,
lighting, plumbing), and product labeling.
