The following is the complete, unedited report from the Andrew County Health Department for food-serving establishments. This report is collected quarterly.
Food Code violations are broken down into two categories: priority (critical) and core (non-critical). Priority violations are crucial as they are more likely to result in food contamination, illness, or environmental health hazards. Some examples of priority violations include improper food storage temperatures, inadequate cooking, employee hygiene, contaminated equipment and improper chemical usage. On the other hand, core violations involve issues like clean floors, walls, and ceilings, open waste bins, uncovered light bulbs in food preparation areas, and lack of thermometers for temperature control monitoring.
Violations annotated (COS) means the issue was “Corrected on Site” before health inspection was completed.
