The California Retail Food Code (CalCode) authorizes a local Environmental Health Department (EHD) to establish a food safety program charged with the issuance of a permit-to-operate once a proposed food establishment and its operations meet the requirements of CalCode. To ensure a safe level of food preparation and food handling practices are maintained, inspections of food facilities are conducted on a routine basis.

The Alameda County Environmental Health Department is currently transitioning to a new software system designed to improve our database management processes. During this transition, Retail Food Facility inspection results will not be available through our online portal. We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary interruption may cause. If you would like to obtain information about a specific Retail Food Facility inspection or have questions regarding a facility’s inspection history, please contact the Alameda County Environmental Health Department’s main phone line (510-567-6700) for assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we implement this new system to better serve your needs.
