How to raise a concern

WCHD inspects local stores, restaurants, schools and other food providers at least twice a year. Establishments have 10 days after the results of their inspection during which they can make comments or appeal before it becomes available to the public. WCHD officials consider the operator response step as an opportunity to tell the public that they have corrected any violations. Any response submitted by the establishment, along with a response from health inspectors, is included with the inspection form when it becomes public. A Wayne County ordinance requires each establishment to display its previous routine inspection report adjacent to the customer entrance. If any critical violations are found, inspectors follow up to ensure the establishment has made the necessary corrections. They also make visits if members of the public submit complaints. To report a concern or for information, call WCHD at 765-973-9245.
