LA FOG Compliance Requirements
Los Angeles food service establishments are required to control fats, oils, and grease (FOG) under LAMC Section 171 and the LA Sanitation FOG Control Program. The core requirements: install and maintain approved grease control equipment, pump traps and interceptors before they reach 25% capacity (or every 90 days at minimum), use only licensed waste haulers, retain service records for inspector review, and keep waste manifests showing disposal at permitted facilities.
LA Sanitation inspectors check FOG compliance during routine health and safety inspections. Common violations include missed pump-outs, missing or incomplete documentation, use of unlicensed haulers, and grease overflows. Penalties range from corrective action notices to fines and, in severe cases, suspension of food service permits by the LA County Department of Public Health and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
GreaseGrid coordinates licensed LA vendors, automates the pump-out schedule, and produces a compliance proof packet after every service. The packet includes the waste manifest, vendor credentials, before/after photos, and a one-page summary formatted for quick inspector review.
