Restaurants

The Division of Environmental Health food protection staff permits and inspects 1800 restaurants, caterers and other food service establishments every year. The permitting process combined with regular inspections and continuing education allows the Board of Health to set and maintain a high standard for food quality in DeKalb County.

All caterering operations are required to have a valid food service permit. This includes home based caterers. When contracting the services of a caterer, always ask to see a copy of the permit and the most recent inspection report. Both documents must be made available to the client per Georgia code.

Together with an educated public and safety-conscious food service industry, the Board of Health keeps the likelihood of foodborne illnesses to a minimum.
