What is a Restaurant Inspection?

Routine inspections at food establishments are a "snapshot" of food safety operations on the particular day they are done. Critical and non-critical violations are recorded on an inspection form. Critical violations are factors that have been identified as items that could potentially cause a food borne illness. Most critical violations are typically corrected on the spot. However, some critical violations require additional time for compliance.

Are Only Restaurants Inspected?

All food service establishments receive routine inspections to ensure they are safe and sanitary.  The frequency of inspections may be increased based on past performance of the food service establishment and other laws; service of high-risk foods such as oysters, shellfish, or sushi; or service practices such a buffet or serving a high-risk population (elderly, infants).
