Restaurant inspections are done periodically to ensure safe procedures are being followed.
The Health Department divides food service code violations into two categories: critical and non-critical violations.
Critical violations are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness or injury.
Non-critical violations, although important to the overall hygiene of the establishment, do not necessarily present an immediate threat to food contamination, illness or injury.
A report for each establishment that is inspected shows the number of critical violations, along with a short statement as to the nature of the violations. The report also shows the number
of non-critical violations, but does not list the nature of those violations.
All Food Establishments in Barry County are required to have a certified food manager on-site during all hours of operation by February 2008. Barry County Health Department is Hosting courses monthly.
