A WSDA Food Safety Compliance Specialis (FSCS) reviews all processing areas of your facility and takes the necessary water samples. Before leaving the facility, the FSCS will leave a copy of the inspection report with you. The inspection report will note any areas that require correction. At that time the inspector will also inform you of your licensing status (approved or denied). All subsequent inspections are unannounced visits and will occur every three to six months.
