Food Safety Compliance for Louisville Food Manufacturers

Louisville & Kentucky Health Department Requirements

The Kentucky Department for Public Health, Food Protection Branch regulates food manufacturing facilities in Louisville and requires HACCP plans, sanitation documentation, and regular inspections. All facilities must maintain FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance, including hazard analysis, supplier verification, and preventive controls. Louisville-area food manufacturers must also comply with local Jefferson County Health Department inspections and state licensing requirements. Non-compliance can result in license suspension, product seizures, and legal liability. Staying informed about regulatory changes from KDPH and FDA is critical to maintaining continuous operations.
