  4. Current Food Recalls


    1. Answer: The Environmental Health Protection division is provided recall information from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) as soon as they receive and verify information. Specific instructions are usually sent with the recall notice. In most cases, the recall information is FAXED to the appropriate establishments as directed by DHSS. In some cases, we are asked to visibly check establishments for recalled products and verify that they have been taken off shelves and no longer available to sell.

      The FDA and DHSS have links listing recalled food items and products. To view current recall information click on one of the links below.

  5. Private Sewage Disposal Systems


    1. Answer: The Environmental Health Protection division issues permits for the installation of new on-site sewage disposal systems. Major repairs to existing systems also require a permit. In addition to installations and repairs, permits for accessory building additions (bedrooms, pools, barns, etc.) are necessary issued to ensure on-site systems are not compromised during the addition. Lot splits and subdivisions are also required to have division approval.
