Health Inspection and Licenses
Health Inspection
City Health Officers work primarily in two major areas - health inspections of food establishments and lead poison prevention in children. The Health Division works closely with the PA Department of Agriculture and the Lancaster City Fire Department to maintain the health and safety of all food establishments and food vendors. Our Health Officers inspect local food establishments at least twice a year, and issue Licenses for Food Vendors at Special Events.
Check out our Health Inspection FAQs to find out what to expect during an inspection, or to learn more about Food Safety Certification.
The other area of concentration for the Health Division is our Lead Poison Prevention Program. This program works with medical personnel, parents, homeowners and painting contractors to remove lead based paint from properties, and to help lead poisoned children. Lead poising is preventable and the Health Division works diligently with the community to make sure that the public is protected from dangers of lead. For more information, please see our Lead Poisoning Prevention FAQs.
Health Licenses
Pennsylvania law requires that properly prepared plans and specifications for construction, remodeling or alteration of a retail food facility must be submitted to the City’s Health Unit before food can be prepared, served and sold. Instructions and Application for Retail Food Facility Plan Review should be completed and submitted with all required materials and documentation to:
