The Food Protection Program is divided into two different areas. The regulatory side conducts inspections of food establishments on state property, manufacturing plants, processors, warehouses, packagers, and transporters; of food products for distribution to another entity for resale or redistribution and provides training and technical assistance to local health departments, consumers and businesses.
The Food Defense Section provides guidance to Indiana's food retailers, producers, processors, and distributors on how to conduct vulnerability assessments and develop food defense plans. They also developed the Food Emergency Response Plan and works with other entities and programs toward protecting food from intentional acts of contamination.
