8/23/2017 - FDA MODEL FOOD CODES ARE COMING

This past legislative session, the CT General Assembly passed a bill that will make the FDA Model Food Code Connecticut’s food code beginning July 1, 2018.  This new law will result in a variety of changes for the food establishments in CT and the local health departments that regulate them.

The Food Protection Program at EHHD realizes that this will be a transition for you and for us as we learn the new requirements.  We understand that changes of this magnitude can generate many questions and is never easy. We are however committed to working with you throughout the transition process as we collectively ensure the quality of your product, and the health and safety of your patrons.  In response to these new changes we have created a new webpage which will contain information from the Connecticut Department of Public Health as it becomes available, and serve as repository for new forms and documents.
