JACKSON, Miss. — The 167th Mississippi State Fair opens today in Jackson, and the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) has once again inspected all food vendors to ensure safe preparation of both hot and cold treats folks will enjoy over the next two weeks.
Inspectors from the MSDH Food Protection Division have inspected all vendors with the same criteria of restaurant inspections, looking for proper food storage, hot and cold temperature controls and clean cooking spaces.
Look for an MSDH inspection sticker wherever you buy your treats to know they've been inspected.
These two levels of food vendors were inspected:
- Level One: Vendors selling foods like cotton candy, funnel cakes, roasted nuts, ice cream and slushes.
- Level Three: Vendors selling cooked foods like chicken-on-a-stick, burgers, fries, steaks, hot dogs and sausages.
MSDH wants fair attendees to know the food is safely prepared and to focus on having fun.
