💡 AFDO eNews Pro Tips Series

AFDO Retail Food Safety Director Deanna Copeland shares why the site's Retail Food Maps are a great resource.

“My favorite part of the website is the retail foods directory under the homepage's Connect with Experts navigation tab. It makes it so easy to find the right contacts for any retail food jurisdiction, along with helpful details like food code versions, training requirements, and maps of retail inspection responsibilities.”

🔎 Pro Tip: Using the Regulatory Oversight Map, users can quickly find out the number of local agencies with retail inspection authority within that state as well as which agencies have regulatory authority over food service establishments and retail food stores at the state level. Click on a state to find more info on each local agency covered.
