Food Hygiene

Florida Department of Health in Nassau County Environmental Health

The Florida Department of Health works with food service establishments to help ensure their products do not cause foodborne illnesses. These establishments, as defined by s. 381.0072, Florida Statutes, generally include food service operations in institutional settings (such as schools, assisted living facilities, detention facilities, and adult daycares), civic and fraternal organizations, bars and lounges that don’t prepare foods, and theaters that limit their food service to customary items like beverages, popcorn, hot dogs, and nachos.

The codes and standards for food service establishments are outlined in Chapter 64E-11, Florida Administrative Code. For more detailed information, please visit the Florida Department of Health website.
