The Grayson County Health Center has released its restaurant/food inspection results for the month of July.
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.
A few great scores were recorded in July, including a 100 by T&A Westbound Barbeque, with Farm Life Nutrition and The Storehouse Coffee & Gifts recording 99s.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Huddle House had 14 violations – including, “food not in good condition” — leading to a score of 83, and the Leitchfield Aquatic Center recorded a score of 83 while having 10 violations — including, “contamination during storage of food prep.” Wendy’s also posted 10 violations with an inspection score of 88.
