New Food Code in CT

The CT Department of Public Health recently adopted the 2022 FDA Food Code as the new state food safety code. The new food code affects retail food establishments such as restaurants, delis, snack bars, school cafeterias, nursing home dietary facilities, food trucks, and food booths at temporary events.

The Middletown Health Department is committed to assisting food establishment owners, operators, managers, and employees with understanding changes to the CT food code.
