The division assures the public of a safe, wholesome and properly represented food supply.
The Division of Food Safety is directly responsible for assuring the public of a safe, wholesome and properly represented food supply. We accomplish this through the permitting and inspection of food establishments; inspection and evaluation of food products; and the performance of specialized laboratory testing on a variety of food products sold and/or produced in Florida.
The division proactively monitors food from manufacturing and distribution to retail. We administer and enforce the food, milk, milk products, frozen desserts, and poultry and egg laws, support the enforcement of other food safety laws, and investigate consumer complaints related to food.
