The secretary shall adopt a state retail food code which shall include, among other

food supply source and protection; health, disease control and cleanliness of
personnel; design, construction, installation, and cleanliness of equipment and
utensils; toilet and hand-washing facilities; solid waste disposal and vermin control;
and any other matters deemed necessary to insure a safe and sanitary operation of a
retail food establishment. Standards for construction, plumbing, lighting, and
ventilation of fixed retail food establishments shall be effective only if they are
approved by the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction and are
included in the Uniform State Building Code, or if they conform to the State
Plumbing Code in the case of plumbing fixtures. Any review of plans for
construction, plumbing, lighting, and ventilation required before construction of a
fixed retail food establishment shall be conducted by the Department of Housing,
Buildings and Construction or authorized local building official pursuant to KRS
