The Food Service Advisory Committee is a group of 15 citizens appointed by the Multnomah County chair to provide recommendations to Environmental Health Services' Inspections and Licensing Program.

  • Review of the food service facility license fee structure
  • Review and recommendations of food code revisions
  • Nutritional information labeling on menus
