To comply with the state's restrictions on nonessential travel, the agency halted many in-person inspections during March, but remained committed to supporting businesses critical to Wisconsin's food supply chain.
Specifically, DATCP inspectors conducted more than 593 food safety calls with restaurants and retail establishments since the Safer at Home order took effect. They also checked on dairy plants, manufactured food facilities and other businesses.
