Dear Mr. Roat:

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. The PA Department of Agriculture has no law or regulation requiring customers to wear shoes in facilities we regulate.

In areas where there is a local or County health department, those agencies might have a requirement you would have to inquire to those agencies.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call.

Sincerely,

(signed)

William R. Kinder, Supervisor
Food Safety Division
