In order to promote and protect the public's health and ensure that the county's food supply is safe and sanitary, all persons that prepare and serve food to the public or sell packaged foods that require temperature control for safety are permitted and inspected by the Greenbrier County Health Department. These include facilities such as restaurants, bars, grocery stores, school cafeterias, day care kitchens, mobile food units (food trucks), and temporary food establishment.
All food establishments are required to follow the 2013 FDA Food Code, which is available for download below. All Food Establishments are inspected at least 2 times per year, except for temporary food establishments which are inspected when they set up for an event and intermittently through multi-day events.
Food & Retail Establishment Permit
All Food Establishments that are new, being renovated, or have a change of ownership must go through the plan review process. Mobile Food Units have a separate plan review (link below). Below you will find the information needed to complete the plan review process:
All Food Establishments are required to follow West Virginia 64 CSR 17 - The Legislative Rule for Food Establishments. This rule also incorporates the the 2013 FDA Food Code by reference. It is recommended that you download and keep a copy of the Legislative Rules and the 2013 FDA Food Code at your establishment.
Once plans are approved, you must schedule an inspection with a Sanitarian. They will inspect your Food Establishment to make sure that it meets the 2013 FDA Food Code and that it can be operated in a safe and sanitary manner.
