It's called *the Health Department* in English.
Depending on the type of food poisoning, they can close a place down IMMEDIATELY (e. coli, botulism, hepititis, etc.). There were two steak houses here in Milwaukee that were closed down and a meat packing plant shut down because of e. coli (the steak houses somewhat voluntarily, the plant courtesy of the Health Department inspectors).
Hope that helps with your question about English. :D

Thank you Phyllis
Such specific names for things and institutions can be hard to guess if you do not exactly know them already.

Even those who are fluent in a language don't always know the proper term for something because of the "dreaded word": DIALECT. Take for instance the country of India.
There are 40 recognized languages and 400 recognized dialects in India, and a person from New Dehli might not be able to understand a Punjabi unless they both use a dialect of English, but even then it might not be the same dialect of English (go figure).
I just finished having the same fooking argument with somebody about making English the official language here. He wants "Standard English" as the official language and I keep asking him "Which Standard English?" *sigh*
We'll discuss this subject some other time if you're interested. :)
