The following is a snapshot of the inspections conducted by the Polk County Health Department.
Twice annually, licensed restaurants receive unannounced inspections that focus on food temperatures and preparation practices, worker hygiene, dishwashing and sanitizing, and equipment and facility cleanliness.
Violations: Scores are based on a 100-point scale. Priority violations deduct 5 points, and priority foundation violations deduct 3 points. Violations recorded on consecutive inspections result in point deductions being doubled.
Scoring: Scores of 70 or higher are considered compliant. Restaurants scoring below 70 must be reinspected within 30 days or face closure or other administrative action. Restaurants display a placard by the entrance to indicate whether they have passed their last inspection.
The most recent inspections are here.
