The state’s A, B or C rating reflects whether critical violations were found and corrected during regular health inspections of food facilities. The grading system appears in all restaurants, as well as food facilities such as school cafeterias, daycare centers, and cafes and bars where food is sold.

A “B” grade means that critical violations were corrected during the inspection: Critical violations were found, but corrected under the supervision of the inspecting environmentalist. No further corrective actions are required.

A “C” grade means that critical violations have not been corrected: Critical violations were found, but some or all were not corrected during the inspection. The facility will be re-inspected, and all violations must be corrected in a time period not to exceed 10 days. The re-inspection date is posted on the graded report. If violations are not corrected in the specified time, steps are taken to suspend the facility’s permit to operate. A grade of “C” is also given if critical violations are repeated from the last inspection, even if they were corrected at that time.
