Monitoring Food Service Providers
The food safety program monitors more than 1,300 licensed food service providers in St. Charles County (except those within the city limits of St. Peters, which regulates its own eateries) to ensure a safe and wholesome food supply for the public. The division issues food service licenses for the calendar year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31) and for temporary food establishments (those operating for a specific time period). Food facilities include (but are not limited to) restaurants, markets, bakeries, school and hospital cafeterias, nursing homes, liquor stores, correctional institutions, theaters, bars and lounges, farmers' market, food service at fairs and festivals, catering trucks, hot dog carts, ice cream trucks and food vending machines.
