The Environmental Health Division licenses and inspects over 1000 food service establishments within Washtenaw County. The purpose of conducting these inspections is to ensure that safe food is being served to the public.
Foodborne illness is a major cause of personal distress, preventable death, and avoidable economic burden. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that foodborne illness results in 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths each year in the United States alone. These illnesses and deaths result in an annual cost of $22 billion due to medical expenses and loss of productivity.
It is a shared responsibility of the food industry and the government to ensure that food provided to the public is safe. This shared responsibility extends to ensuring that consumer expectations are met and that food is unadulterated, prepared in a clean environment, and honestly presented.
