health inspections

Health inspections are evaluations conducted by public health officials to ensure that restaurants and food establishments follow safety and sanitation standards. They check for cleanliness, proper food storage, pest control, staff hygiene, and adherence to food handling regulations. The goal is to prevent foodborne illnesses and protect public health. Inspections may be scheduled regularly or unannounced, and facilities are required to correct any violations found. A passing inspection indicates the establishment meets safety standards, helping consumers feel confident about the safety of the food they consume.
