Hennepin County Public Health, jointly operated with Minneapolis, inspects food establishments under MN Statutes Chapter 157 and licenses restaurants countywide except in delegated cities.
Hennepin County Public Health licenses and inspects food establishments in cities that delegate authority to the county. Inspectors evaluate food temperatures, employee hygiene, sanitation, and pest control under Minnesota Food Code (Minn. Rules Ch. 4626). Critical violations require immediate correction or closure. Inspection reports are public records posted online. Minneapolis runs its own program through the joint Minneapolis-Hennepin Public Health partnership. Bloomington and several larger suburban cities also retain delegated authority. Most smaller cities rely on Hennepin County for food licensing.
Operating without license, repeated critical violations, or imminent health hazards trigger fines, license suspension, or emergency closure pending re-inspection.
