Methodology
Trinity County (California) enforces the California Retail Food Code (CalCode, Health & Safety Code Division 104, Part 7, Chapter 1 et seq.) — current version is the operative statutory authority regardless of any version date or excerpt that may appear on county pages. The Trinity County Division of Environmental Health (within the Community Development Department) does not operate a placard, letter-grade, or numeric-scoring overlay. Inspection reports follow a records-request model; individual inspection PDFs are available via the County DocumentCenter on a one-off basis but no centralized public archive or searchable portal is published. The County has zero incorporated cities, which means Trinity County Environmental Health holds direct authority over 100% of county geography for food regulation with no possible city environmental health department carve-outs. Approximately 120 retail food facilities are permitted countywide. Trinity is Certified Unified Program Agency-certified, with Trinity County Division of Environmental Health serving as the Certified Unified Program Agency per Department of Toxic Substances Control.
