Dear Mr. Shakely:
Through a recent reorganization of state government, all regulatory concerns in the area of food safety rest with the Department of Agriculture. Accordingly, Mr. James Haveman, Jr., Director of the Michigan Department of Community Health, forwarded your letter to me.
Some Michigan restaurants and supemarkets display the warning sign "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service - by order of the health department." Although such signs may represent the attitude of store management, the requirement is not based upon any Michigan law. Michigan's food safety standards address employees involved in food handling and do not regulate the attire of the customer.
I hope this information is helpful. If you need any further information regarding this issue, please feel free to contact Mr. Tom Flynn at 517-240-0931.
Sincerely,Dan Wyant Director |
