Central District Health's Environmental Health Specialists conduct regular inspections of restaurants, taverns, grocery stores, meat markets and bakeries to determine proper hygiene and food handling practices of operators and their employees.

All food facilities receive one unannounced inspection each year. When critical violations are noted during an inspection, they must be corrected immediately or the inspector will have to schedule a follow-up inspection.

This database contains inspection results dating back three years.

By clicking on the link above you can search for inspection results by the name of the food establishment or by its address.

2016 Idaho Food Code Changes Effective July 1, 2016

View the Idaho Food Code

During the 2016 legislative session, the Idaho Legislature adopted the FDA 2013 Model Food Code by reference. With it, several changes to the Idaho Food Code became effective July 1, 2016. Changes include closer observations of potentially critical items that could contribute to foodborne illnesses.

Foodborne illness is most often prevented by monitoring and controlling the food safety items listed in the Key to Violations. Licensed food establishment operators that follow these food safety principles and practices ensure safe food is served to the consumer.

The Key to Violations can be found below on this page. A more detailed version is available here. To reference the Key to Violations used prior to the 2016 Idaho Food Code changes, click here.
