The latest inspections, conducted during the week of April 12, covered 36 establishments with scores ranging from 66 to 100, including schools, restaurants, and markets.
Violations ranged from missing food safety certificates and improper food storage to sanitation issues, with some facilities receiving no score due to low priority status. Most priority violations were corrected immediately.
The department emphasizes the type of violation over the score itself and rarely closes establishments. Previous reports noted similar inspection practices and highlighted ongoing efforts to address food safety risks.
