Food Safety

All food facilities should be constructed and operated so as to protect the health and safety of all students, employees, and campus visitors. This is accomplished by compliance with applicable provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, ongoing education, and inspection of all organizations and groups selling, offering for sale, or giving away food or beverages. Environmental Health & Safety(EH&S) conducts inspections of the food facilities on campus to ensure their compliance with health code requirements, and investigates complaints of food-related illnesses. Permits necessary to hold food sales on campus by student organizations are also issued by EH&S. To make an appointment to submit a permit application or to report a complaint about campus food safety, contact Everette Brooks at 756-7009 (fax 756-5836) or email ebrooks@calpoly.edu
