How they're scored
Every eating establishment in the county is inspected and receives letter and number grade. The purpose of making inspections is to determine compliance with the Rules of Department Of Human Resources Public Health, Chapter 290-5-14 Food Service. The scores and grade are from inspections performed by environmentalists of Liberty County Environmental Health Department. The county manager of the Environmental Health Department is Linus R. Woodard.
Scores range from 0 minimum to 100 maximum.
Grade A: 90-100
Food safety excellence; no critical categories are violated and no more than five non-critical categories violated.
Grade B: 80-89
Satisfactory compliance; no more than two critical categories are violated and corrected immediately and/or six to nine non-critical categories are violated, including no more than one reoccurring critical violation and four reoccurring non-critical violations from the last previous routine inspection.
Grade C: 70-79
Marginal compliance; an establishment that is previously graded as “U” will be given “C” upon a follow-up inspection when all critical violations have been corrected and there are no new critical violations. In addition, there will be no more than two uncorrected non-critical violations and no more than seven new non-critical violations. The “C” will be posted until the next routine inspection. The next routine inspection will not be conducted until after 60 days past the date of the establishment receiving a grade “C.”
Grade U: 0-69
Unsatisfactory compliance. Three or more critical categories and/or ten or more non-critical categories are violated. A “U” will be received also if there are two or more reoccurring critical violations and/or five or more reoccurring non-critical violations from the last previous routine inspection. This grade is also given if one or more critical violations cannot be corrected immediately.
When the health authority makes an inspection of a food service establishment or operation, the findings shall be recorded on an inspection report form provided for this purpose. Upon the completion of the inspection, the evaluating official shall discuss all violations with management or its representative to sign the inspection report form.
The most current inspection report and grade must be posted in public view at all times, within the primary of or on the public door, and between five feet and seven feet from the floor and in an area where it can be read at a distance of one foot away.
Displays at drive-thru windows must post grade and score at all drive-thru windows so the customer can read.
