Jefferson City food service inspections for July 2014

Jefferson City inspected 61 food services during the month of July.

The inspections note critical and non-critical violations.

Critical violations are the more serious, as they're more likely to compromise food safety and cause health problems. Critical violations often concern improper food temperatures, either on a stove/grill or in holding areas after cooking or before cooking, such as in a refrigerator. They also could involve plumbing repairs, personal hygiene, people handling food who are sick, or contamination such as pest infestations.

Non-critical violations are more minor offenses, which could deal with cleaning/ maintenance of floors, walls, ceilings, open waste receptacles, unshielded light bulbs in a food preparation area, or a missing thermometer in a refrigerator.
