Food Hygiene
Introduction | >Next
The Food Hygiene Program is designed to ensure that facilities regulated by the Orange County Health Department serve food, beverages, and snacks in a safe and sanitary manner and minimize the occurrence of food related illness. There are three state agencies that license and regulate food service facilities.
- Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) - inspects restaurants
- Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) - inspects grocery stores and food outlets
- Department of Health (DOH)
The DOH regulates food service establishments as defined under Chapter 64E-11 of the Florida Statutes. These include:
- Assisted Living Facilities
- Nursing Homes and Hospitals
- Schools - (Public and Private)
- Civic and Fraternal Organizations
- Theatre Concessions
- Group Residential Facilities
- Bars and Lounges that do not prepare food
- Foster Homes
- Day Care Facilities
- Summer Feeding Sites
- Other limited facilities not regulated by DBPR or DACS

The Department of Health also investigates suspected food borne illness cases in all food facilities. If you think you have become ill from eating in a food service facility, report it to our office immediately by calling 407-521-2630 and be prepared to tell us:
- The name and location of the establishment
- The date and time you were there
- What you ate and how much
- If any other members of your party became ill
