We're not lawyers—just friendly helpers! 🧑🍳🍴 This document isn’t meant to dish out legal advice. Food safety laws are like recipes—every city, county, and state has its own twist. For the freshest take on your local rules, give your health department a call (they're the real chefs in this kitchen). While Certivance stirs up resources and keeps an eye on state-level regulations, always double-check with your local experts—because even the best cooks need a second opinion! 😉
