District 4’s Environmental Health Offices can investigate and address concerns related to Body Art, Food Service establishments, hotels and motels, public swimming pools, wastewater and more. However, there are many common complaints that we cannot enforce through health department rules and regulations. Please use the following resources to find information that may help you.
Grocery Stores, Convenience Stores and other Food Sales and Manufactures
The Georgia Department of Agriculture regulates multiple types of food sales and manufacture facilities. These facilities include but are not limited to grocery stores, convenience stores, packing plants and cottage food processors. More information can be found at their website or by reaching out to their main office at 1-855-424-5423.
