Behind the Scenes Every day thousands of people eat in one of DeKalb County's 1,800 food services establishments. It is the responsibility of the DeKalb County Board of Health's Food Protection staff to ensure that the public's dining experience is always a safe one. The 16-member staff of the Food Protection Program, part of the Division of Environmental Health, issues permits for new restaurants, inspects each of DeKalb's restaurants at least twice a year, provides food safety education and fosters a safety-conscious restaurant-going public. "We inspect almost every restaurant in the county at least twice a year, and post the scores and violations in the restaurant," explained Janice Buchanon, Food Protection Program manager. "But the best way for people to know how to spot an unsafe restaurant is to learn to see the restaurant through the eyes of a health inspector."
