How to raise a concern

Wayne County Health Department inspects local stores, restaurants, schools and other food providers at least twice per year. If any aren’t compliant with regulations, inspectors follow up to ensure the establishment has made the necessary corrections. They also make visits if members of the public submit complaints.

Establishments are required to post the most recent routine inspection adjacent to the front public entrance for potential customers to view.
