ABOUT RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS

These are a synopsis of restaurant inspections conducted by the Marion County Health Department. To read the full inspection report with corrective measures, go to http://apps.co.marion.or.us/RIS.

Marion County has more than 700 licensed restaurants. Restaurants receive two unannounced routine inspections a year to determine compliance with the Food Sanitation Rules. Inspections focus on food temperatures, food preparation practices, worker hygiene, dish washing and sanitizing, equipment and facility cleanliness.

What the scores mean: A restaurant that receives a score of 70 or higher is considered to be in compliance. Any cited "critical violations" are corrected immediately or an approved alternative procedure implemented. A restaurant that receives a score below 70 fails to comply and must have a full re-inspection within 30 days or be subject to closure or further administrative action. Follow-up inspections are conducted on any facility where a public health risk is identified. A placard on the restaurant entrance indicates whether a facility passed the last routine health inspection.

About violations: The inspection score is based on 100 points. Critical violations, called priority violations and priority foundation violations, deduct 1 to 5 points. Core violations do not have point deductions, but must be corrected. If the same violation is cited on consecutive semi-annual inspections, the points deducted will double.
