About
FoodCodeBuddy puts the Ohio Food Code on your iPhone: every rule, searchable and offline, with tag groups for your inspection notes and a link to the official text from every rule.
Built for Ohio Environmental Health Specialists (Sanitarians), trainees and other health district staff, and for the food-service operators and managers who follow the same rules.
Find any rule in seconds
• Search by keyword, such as "handwashing" or "cold holding", or by rule number, such as 3717-1-02.2.
• Go straight to the paragraph you need instead of scrolling a PDF.
• Find in page highlights every match in the rule you're reading.
Works offline
The code downloads to your iPhone once and stays there, so it works in a walk-in cooler, a basement kitchen or anywhere without signal. Changes you make to tag groups offline sync when you're back online.
The complete Ohio Food Code
Every rule in Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3717-1 and Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3717, organized the way Ohio publishes them, with each chapter's effective date.
Tag groups for your notes
• Tag the rules you cite most, add notes, and group them the way you work: critical violations, a facility type, a training checklist.
• Your tag groups sync between your devices.
• Tag groups can be shared through your organization, so your team works from the same list.
Links to the official text
Every rule links to its official text at codes.ohio.gov, and every chapter to the official PDF.
Private by design
• No ads, and no tracking across other apps or websites. We never sell your data.
• Crash reports identify you only by an internal account number, never your name or email.
• Delete your account, and your data with it, from Settings at any time.
An account is required to download the code and sync your tag groups. Sign in with Apple, Google or your email address.
Not an official government app
FoodCodeBuddy is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Ohio, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, or any local health district. It is provided for reference only and is not legal advice. Rule text comes from the Ohio Administrative Code and the Ohio Revised Code, published by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission at codes.ohio.gov. If FoodCodeBuddy differs from the official text, the official text is what counts.
