Environmental-health update: facility shutdown resolved, nitrate lab policy approved; WIC prepares for new food rules
Summary
Staff reported a resolved mandated facility shutdown, completed lead data reporting and two open environmental cases; the board approved the Nitrate Lab Policy and postponed vector-control discussion. WIC outreach and April food-rule changes were also reported.
The board heard an environmental-health update: staff described one mandated facility shutdown that has since been resolved and reopened, noted lead-data reporting is complete, and said Environmental Health has two open cases. The minutes record those operational updates without additional board action.
Separately, the Nitrate Lab Policy was reviewed and approved (Seidel moved; M. Olson second). Vector control discussion was deferred to the February meeting at Kleiber's request. WIC staff reported outreach with Parenting Place in La Crosse and said the second phase of new food rules begins in April, removing several yogurt options for sugar content; training and system changes will start in March.
