See the latest health inspection score for school cafeterias in Columbus, Georgia area
As Thanksgiving and schools’ Winter Break approach, the Ledger-Enquirer compiled a list of the most recent health inspection scores for public and private school cafeterias in the Columbus area.
Schools from Columbus, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Harris County and Chattahoochee County are included in the list with scores pulled from the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Alabama Department of Public Health.
In Georgia, food establishments 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.
Alabama state law generally requires food service establishments to be inspected at least three times a year depending on the type of food being prepared.
Establishments are placed in one of four categories that determine the re-inspection schedule and use of enforcement actions:
Scores of 85 to 100 are considered to be satisfactory compliance and inspected on a routine schedule
Establishments that score between 70 to 84 require a follow-up inspection within 60 days
Scores of 60-69 require follow-up and re-inspection within 48 hours
Establishments that score below 60 are closed immediately
No school in Georgia or Alabama received an unsatisfactory score or required a follow-up inspection.
Here are the most recent school cafeterias health inspection scores.
