Lodging establishments such as motels, hotels, and bed and breakfasts that have five bedrooms or more must be licensed by MDHSS prior to opening. The inspections include sanitation, health and safety. To learn more, click here.
ACCORDING TO THE FOOD CODE, A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE A KITCHEN IN A BED AND BREAKFAST OPERATION THAT:
- Prepares and offers food to guests if the home is owner occupied
- The number of available guest bedrooms does not exceed 4
- Breakfast is the only meal offered
- The number of guests does not exceed 12, and
- The consumer is informed by statements contained in published advertisements, mailed brochures, and placards posted at the registration area that the food is prepared in a kitchen that is not regulated and inspected by the regulatory authority.
Therefore, if any meal other than breakfast is offered, a food code inspection must be performed. Regardless of number of rooms, lodging businesses that are not on a city sewer system must also comply with on-site wastewater treatment systems regulations.
Sanitation Inspection Service
Licensed day cares are inspected in partnership with the Missouri Department of Health Section for Child Care Regulation, Division of Regulation and Licensure. The inspections include sanitation, health and safety.
Food Establishment Inspections
Looking at a series of inspection reports over time gives a more accurate picture of a food business' commitment to food safety and sanitation. In the end, food safety is an ongoing, cooperative effort involving management at a food business, food workers, food safety regulators and consumers.
