The Waupaca County Environmental Health unit licenses and inspects food establishments including all restaurants, caterers, mobile food establishments, and special events with temporary food stands. Inspections are used to verify that food establishments comply with the Wisconsin Food Code and comply with Waupaca County ordinance. Environmental Health Specialists work in partnership with owners and operators of food establishments to assure food safety as well as worker safety.

Inspections are focused on identifying risk factors and good retail practices in addition to providing education and information on proper food safety practices.

Please keep in mind that any inspection report is a “snapshot” of observations recorded during the time the inspector was at the facility. Therefore, an inspection report may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions within an establishment.
