The Grayson County Health Center has released its restaurant/food inspection results for the month of December.
The rating score of the establishment is determined by subtracting weighted point values of noted violations from 100, according to officials. Unannounced inspections observe the overall operation, including food source and protection; personnel; food equipment and utensils; maintenance of water and sewage systems; garbage and refuse disposal; insect, rodent and animal control; and storage of toxic items, among others.
Critical violations, four and five points in weight, are items, which if uncorrected, carry the potential to be an imminent threat to the public’s health. These items must be corrected in a time designated by the health department not to exceed 10 days.
December’s inspections were primarily follow-up inspections after several poor scores were recorded during November’s inspections. The results of those follow-up inspections showed only marginal improvement, as several establishments posted well over 20 violations, and in some instances, Rough River State Park Lodge for example, recorded 35 violations on a follow-up inspection.
Speedy Mart’s inspection results were also abysmal, with the store posting a food score of 88 in November (23 violations), followed-up with a score of 92 (19 violations). A second follow-up inspection produced a score of 96 (17 violations).
Robbie’s Quick Stop, with a food inspection score of 81 in November (20 violations), and followed-up with an 86 (16 violations), underwent a second follow-up and posted an 88 (15 violations).
