Restaurants, B&Bs

The Environmental Health Program conducts two unannounced routine health inspections per year and investigates consumer complaints.  If a public health risk is identified, an Environmental Health Specialist conducts a follow-up inspection.  Inspections focus on food temperatures, food preparation practices, worker hygiene, dishwashing and sanitizing, equipment, and facility cleanliness.

Restaurant Inspection Scores are public record.  A restaurant must receive a score of 70 to pass the inspection.  Consumers can find a placard near the restaurant entrance that indicates if a facility passed the last health inspection.
