How the grading works
Restaurants receive one of four letter grades that are assigned based on how many points are deducted from 100:
“A” grades mean food safety is excellent is achieved by receiving 90-100 points
“B’s” are issued when there is “satisfactory compliance” with the business receiving 80-89 points
“C’s” mean there is marginal compliance and applied to scores between 70-79
“U’s” represent unsatisfactory compliance and are applied to scores of 69 or less.
Establishments that receive a “C” or “U” food safety grade will have at least one additional routine inspection added in a twelve month period, according to state law.
Residents can find information on all health inspections on the Georgia Department of Health’s online portal.
