Stay informed and make your dining decisions with confidence by understanding what goes on behind the scenes in your favorite restaurants and eateries!
Understanding Food Safety Violations
When it comes to food safety, awareness is key. The health department categorizes violations into two groups: red critical violations—those that pose a direct risk of foodborne illnesses—and black violations, which are typically related to cleanliness or facility maintenance.
What You Need to Know:
- Critical Violations: These require immediate correction and have a higher impact on public health.
- Non-Critical Violations: These are still important but may not pose an immediate risk. Follow-ups may occur at the next scheduled inspection.
The health department emphasizes education over penalties, aiming to help business owners rectify unsafe practices swiftly.
