Food Service and Retail Food Establishments
The Food Establishments Rule, 64 CSR 17, was revised with an effective date of April 2, 2008. The new Rule adopts the 2005 FDA model Food Code. The new Rule replaces the former Rule dated July 1, 2000.
Permitting and inspecting Food Service Establishments in West Virginia is the responsibility of the Local Health Departments. All inquires regarding application for a permit, request for an inspection, or filing a complaint should be made to your local health department.
West Virginia's Food Establishment Rule, effective April 2, 2008, governs retail food establishments such as restaurants, retail food stores, school lunch programs, temporary food stands, mobile food units, and food vending machines.
The rule incorporates, by reference, the majority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2005 Model Food Code.
