Restaurants and Food Stand Grades
Inspections include the establishment's level of cleanliness, food handling practices, and proper food protection during preparation, storage, and transportation. After inspection, the establishment receives a certified card with a Grade of A, B, or C.
A grade of 100 to 90 is an A; 89 to 80 is a B; and 79 to 70 is a C. Any facility receiving less than 70 would be closed immediately. Each establishment is required to display their Grade Card in a prominent location for the public to see.
Inspectors pay one unannounced visit to each restaurant each quarter. Restaurants do have the opportunity to correct problems and ask for a reinspection, which must be given within 15 days of the request.
