Food Service Inspections

The Fayette County Health Department performs routine inspections of all food service establishments in the county. These surprise, quarterly inspections are held to ensure compliance with the state rules and regulations. Scoring for these inspections is based on three categories: I, II, and III.

• Category I: Violations in this category are considered hazardous to the public health and require an immediate correction while the Health Department is present, with a permanent correction within 24 hours.

• Category II: Violations in this category are considered critical operational and maintenance violations which can increase the potential for causing food-borne illness. these violations must be corrected within 72 hours.

• Category III: Items in this category are conductive to good management practices which maintain a healthy environment for the consumer. Violations in this category are expected to be corrected by the next routine inspection performed by the Health Department.

Scoring: Each food establishment is given a score of 1-100 in each of the three categories. The three scores are averaged together to become the final score noted on the inspection sheet.
