Wayne County Public Health Services inspects food establishments in suburban municipalities under the Michigan Modernized Food Law, issuing routine and follow-up inspection reports rather than letter grades.
Wayne County Public Health Services (WCPHS) operates as the food safety regulator for the 42 communities outside the City of Detroit, which has its own health department. Inspections follow the Michigan Modernized Food Law (MCL 289.1101) and are typically conducted one to four times per year depending on risk classification. Unlike Los Angeles or New York, Michigan does not require a posted letter grade. Reports list priority, priority foundation, and core violations and are available through the WCPHS public inspection portal. Repeat priority violations can lead to license suspension by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Operating without a license, failing to correct priority violations within stated timeframes, or refusing inspector access can trigger fines, suspension, or closure orders.
