    Food code in force

    2017 FDA Food Code (with Supplement). The FDA Food Code is a model, not a federal mandate — each state decides which edition to adopt and how far to amend it.

Worth knowing. The state replaced its old inspection search on July 1 while moving platforms; the previous address no longer works. Records from before August 2015 require an open records request.

If you run the restaurant

The record is public either way. The useful move is to read it before a customer does.

Step one

Pull your own record

Search yourself in the lookup above and read every line of the last three reports. Repeat violations are what escalate.

Step two

Work the ten risk factors

Most citations trace back to the same ten practices the FDA measures nationally. Run the ten-minute self-check.

Step three

Fix, document, re-inspect

Dated photos and a written correction log are what a re-inspection rewards. What to do after a bad inspection.
